Dataset of annual metal scrap circularity of titanium industry in China from 2005 to 2020

The database contains annual primary data and secondary data for titanium products in China from 2005 to 2020. The primary data are recorded as operating capacity, annual production, and titanium scrap of titanium sponge, titanium ingots, titanium mills, and titanium goods. The secondary data are recorded as the recycled high-grade titanium swarf, and the ratios of off-grade titanium sponge, low-grade titanium scrap, and recycled high-grade titanium swarf for each titanium product. 

 Great efforts were made to guarantee the reliability of China’s titanium flow dataset, however, the lack of available statistical results for the usage of low-grade titanium scrap for titanium sponge, titanium ingots, and titanium mill products caused that the usages of them were not displayed detailly in this data descriptor. These shortcomings should be considered by users.
