By-Product Recycling for Steel Plants

Approaching the Circular Economy with By-Product Recycling in Steel Production

Closed-loop recycling technologies and services from Primetals Technologies ensure efficient by-product management and added value through recovered materials. In recycling, the objective is always twofold: to save resources and to create value. Government regulations worldwide are becoming more stringent regarding environmental regulations, including rules for depositing and storing dust and sludge generated in the iron and steelmaking process. These by-products, such as iron-containing dust, sludge, oxide fines, and scales, as well as lime dusts, are transformed into valuable resources with by-product recycling solutions.
