From Monday, Sept. 23 to Wednesday, Sept. 25, the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) will host the 2024 Roundtables, an event designed to help attendees gain the latest commodity market insights and to network with traders, processors, consumers, and worldwide professionals in the recycled materials industry.

Jonathan Christensen is a policy analyst specializing in steel imports with the International Trade Administration (ITA) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. He supports the mission of the agency through the administration of the United States’ steel import licensing program and public steel import monitors. He also works with the Department on the publication of recycled material data and trade trends. ReMA News had the opportunity to talk with Christensen, a speaker for the Global Markets and Trade Roundtable taking place Tuesday, Sept. 24.

What should attendees look forward to for your panel?

Attendees can look forward to hearing about the numerous data tools and services that the International Trade Administration provides the public regarding trade in recycled materials. I will discuss ITA’s new Global Scrap Monitor, which provides global import and export trade data on steel and aluminum recycled materials and various inputs. I will also share some additional data tools that provide state and local-level economic and trade information to help traders stay informed.

What are you most excited for at the 2024 roundtables and why?

I’m looking forward to connecting with the many stakeholders from the U.S. domestic industry and with the many panelists to hear from them about the top issues affecting the various recycled materials industries today. I’m also excited to share the great work the U.S. Department of Commerce has been doing to bring new data monitors and services to U.S. domestic industries.

What do you hope attendees gain/take away from your panel?

I hope that attendees walk away from the panel with the knowledge about tools Commerce offers and how to get in touch directly with our experts. Additionally, I want to ensure folks know that our Office of Trade Agreements Negotiation and Compliance colleagues can assist with challenges when doing business overseas. From trade data to assistance with resolving foreign trade barriers, the International Trade Administration provides a wide array of services to our domestic stakeholders.
