SSRP was notified by Ministry of Steel (MoS) in 2019, with following objectives: 

  • Promotes Circular Economy( 6Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Redesign & Remanufacture
  • Formal & scientific collection, dismantling & processing activities for end-of-life products that are sources of recyclable ferrous, nonferrous & metallic scraps
  • Creation of Mechanism for treating waste streams and residues produced from dismantling and shredding facilities, etc.
An infographic titled "Key Highlights of the Report" with two columns: "Issue Highlighted" and "Relevant Recommendations". Lack of comprehensive database on steel scrap sector Recommendations: Develop a robust database, create a dedicated portal with updated data on generation, usage, policies, and benefits, and include comparisons with other countries. Absence of designated Nodal Ministry for steel scrap matters Recommendations: Ministry of Steel to be the nodal agency; collect, compile, update, and share all steel scrap data (state-wise, sector-wise, imports, exports). Lack of formal scrap markets Recommendations: Implement roadmap to formalize the informal scrap sector; organise ‘Kabadiwallahs’ and dismantlers into cooperatives for economic and social benefits. Absence of Industry status to steel scrap recycling sector Recommendations: Accord ‘Industry status’ to attract domestic/foreign investment, generate jobs, and boost skill development. Lack of skill development and certification for scrap workforce Recommendations: NSDC to launch certification courses on scrap handling; train workforce and entrepreneurs for future formal sector needs. Use of obsolete technology in scrap processing centres Recommendations: Incentivise centres to adopt modern technologies such as AI-powered optical sensors, Blockchain for scrap traceability, and digital platforms to connect aggregators with steel mills.
