Wales is prioritizing enhanced procurement practices to establish a circular economy, particularly in the steel industry, by focusing on local production and reducing scrap metal exports. The addition of an electric arc furnace at Tata in Port Talbot aims to boost domestic processing capacity, while public contracts will emphasize the use of low-carbon, recycled materials. This initiative aligns with the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, promoting sustainable public spending and collaborative efforts across industries to embed circular principles.
