The European Union has updated its Circular Economy Action Plan, requiring stainless steel pipe manufacturers to ensure at least 90% recyclability in new products. This aligns with the EU’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Companies must now track scrap sourcing and implement eco-friendly production methods.

Key Changes:
✔ Mandatory use of recycled scrap (minimum 60%)
✔ Stricter emissions reporting
✔ Incentives for low-carbon production techniques
