This dataset contains the analysis for the research article entitled "From symbiosis to scarcity: Evaluating disruption associated with decarbonisation to circular waste materials between the UK cement and steel sectors".

Dataset available as an interlinked XLSX spreadsheet or as individual CSV files, where: ReadME) Dataset metadata, 1) A material flow analysis on the cement and concrete sector and the steel sector in the UK, 2) A material flow analysis on the cement and concrete sector, and the iron and steel sector globally, 3) Calculating the current and future carbon intensity of steel per tonne of product utilising the UK and global material flow analyses, 4) Calculating the current and future carbon intensity of cement per tonne of product utilising the UK and global material flow analyses, 5) Calculating the average transportation distance by sea from China, India, and Japan to the UK from the three largest ports (by economic value) from each country to the UK's three largest ports (by economic value), 6) Assessment of the current, and prediction of the future economic value of iron, steel, and GGBS under both import and export scenarions using historical UK trade data (2000 onwards), 7) Supplementary calculations related to the steel sector to support other sheet, 8) Supplementary calculations related to the steel sector to support other sheets.
