Challenges
The role of the circular economy
General
- Increasing the added value of products as a means of differentiation versus industrial price reduction (metallurgy and metal products).
- Tailor-made value proposition and turnkey solutions.
- Collaboration in and between sectors.
Priority strategies and approaches
- Waste recycling and landfill reduction.
- Advanced materials (alloys).
- Best Available Techniques (BAT).
- Clean technologies (machining and forming systems and equipment, near net shape).
- Increased responsible consumption and corporate transparency.
Environmental
- Reducing pollution, emission and disposal.
- Reducing dilution effect of key materials.
- Increase recycling rate.
- Reinforcing recovery and subsequent use of steel making slag from electric arc furnaces.
Competitive improvements
- Waste recovery (isostatic, salt slag, PVC waste stream, etc.).
- Re-introduction of waste from the steelworks and rolling mill areas into the production chain.
- Recycling waste to be used in other sectors (construction, etc.).
- Search for secondary material alternatives.
- Waste prevention and recycling criteria.
- Reducing industrial land contamination that promotes the dispersion of pollutants.
