In Turkey’s industrialization journey, the scrap and recycling sector has gained increasing importance in line with sustainable development. Especially in the stainless steel scrap sector, recycling waste back into the economy plays a crucial role both in developing the country’s foreign trade and preserving environmental resources.
Turkey’s First and Leading Stainless Steel Scrap Exporter
The first and largest exporter in Turkey’s stainless steel scrap sector is Hursan. Since its foundation, Hursan has been a pioneer in the industry with its visionary management, achieving this success through investments in technology and a service approach focused on sustainability. Today, Hursan is not only a leading stainless steel scrap exporter in Turkey but also in the region.
Hursan’s Journey and Secrets to Success
- When entering the sector, Hursan went beyond traditional scrap trading and based its operations on recycling and modern waste management principles.
- The group companies handle the collection, sorting, processing in high-tech recycling facilities, and export of stainless steel scrap.
- Through energy-saving processes, the company reduces its carbon footprint and leads the adoption of environmentally friendly production models.
The Importance of Export in the Sector
While Turkey is one of the world’s largest buyers of iron and steel scrap, creating value from waste and marketing it abroad creates a strategic advantage for the national economy. Hursan ranks among Turkey’s top 200 exporters in stainless steel scrap, representing the country as a trusted brand in global markets with its innovation-driven approach.
Hursan is Turkey’s first and leading exporter in the stainless steel scrap sector.
