SUSTAINABLE STEEL

• The reprocessing and reusing of steel to produce new steel products is known as Recycling of Steel. This process helps in conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental pollution. It is also helping in increasing the global production of steel while offering numerous other benefits.
• The use of every ton of Recycle Steel shall save 1.1 ton of iron ore, 630 kg of coking coal and 55 kg of limestone. There shall be considerable saving in specific energy consumption also as the same will reduce from around 14 MJ/Kg in BF/BOF route to less than 11 MJ/ Kg in EAF/IF route, i.e. savings in energy by 16-17%. It also reduces the water consumption and GHG emission by 40% and 58% respectively.
