Reverse Logistics

Steel is 100% recyclable.

Defective steel tubing returned as scrap for production of steel.
Steel tubing produced by BOF process uses up to 30% recycled steel
Steel tubing produced by EAF process uses 100% recycled steel.
Recycled coproducts are recycled or sold for use by other industries.
- Slag used as construction aggregate
- Lime separated from slag used as fertilizer, waste water treatment
- Gases used within steelmaking plant to reduce demand for electricity.
Most of water reused with small percentage lost due to evaporation.
