Research into the Economic, Environmental and Social Opportunities around Options with Scrap Metal, Particularly Steel

Notice Description

The Authority are seeking suppliers for Research into Economic, Environmental and Social Opportunities around options with scrap metal, particularly steel. Defra are seeking a researcher to research the economic, environmental and social issues and opportunities around options with scrap metal, particularly steel, including greater availability, reduced exports/ retained value, increased use in UK, the barriers to increased use, ways to overcome these, opportunities and implications for policy, including the benefits, costs and risks of any intervention and to make recommendations.
