They wouldn’t be manufacturing iron just to burn it, this is for scrap iron being recycled.

That’s my point: Iron and steel have a HUGE energy investment, and turning them back into rust/ore is a very expensive (energy wise) way of recycling. Turning this scrap into useful metal items is far less wasteful.

Seems to me that the iron would be more valuable to be reused as iron to manufacture things.
