SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Resource Exchange of America Corporation (OTCBB:RXAC) (www.resource-exchange.com), a Florida-based recycling company, is pleased to comment on the latest projections for the global industry.
Despite recent claims that tightened environmental regulations and exaggerated output from Chinese mills will soon see a peak in the demand for steel, many industry insiders now believe the markets will experience continued growth into the foreseeable future.
"It's a great time to be in the recycling business," says Dana Pekas, CEO of RXAC. "As the industry looks to more sustainable sources for core materials used in the production of steel, demand in the recycling sector is only going to grow."
Recent figures from Hatch Corporate Finance (source: http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2010/10/13/after-peak-oil-peak-steel/) reveal that by the year 2050, the world's projected 9 billion population will require 300kg steel pp, against today's per capita figure of 187kg. Based on these predictions, the global demand for steel is essentially set to double.
"As governments place increased environmental constraints on the manufacturing industry and as certain markets recover following the recession, the popularity of steel scrap continues to grow," adds Pekas. "As a raw material steel scrap can be used over and over without loss of integrity. This in turn conserves energy and prevents waste. It's a win-win situation."
