Sustainability
Scrap is the raw material for new steel.
Recycling your scrap through partner furnaces and steel mills keeps metal in use and reduces the need for newly mined raw materials.
The loop
From your site back into new metal.
- 01
Your site
Scrap is segregated at source and collected on schedule.
- 02
Our yard
Weighed, graded by metal and prepared to mill specification.
- 03
Partner furnace
Graded scrap is melted down at partner furnaces and steel mills.
- 04
New metal
It goes back into industry as new steel and metal products.
New steel becomes tomorrow's equipment, and eventually tomorrow's scrap.
Why it matters

Your reporting
Records your sustainability team can use.
Our records follow each load from your gate to the partner furnace or mill, so the tonnes you send for recycling can be counted in your recycling and Scope 3 reporting.
