Abstract
In the early sixties the Federal Republic of Germany was still the largest scrap consumer in the old European Coal and Steel Community. In 1960 the scrap-intensive open hearth and electric steel processes still accounted for 53.6% of the crude steel production in the Federal Republic; this proportion had fallen to 28.7% by 1973. Even more important is the increase in the absolute quantity of steel produced since the early sixties, and its share of the steel made in the ECSC.
