We sort other waste fractions based on the available recycling infrastructure in each specific region. This is an ongoing process, involving dialogues with suppliers, customers and waste contractors about recycling, including regarding optimum packaging. Waste is generated and recycling is conducted throughout the value chain. Steel has a relatively closed cycle where most of the scrap is recycled and turned into new products. We use our raw materials efficiently, meaning that as much purchased material as possible must be delivered as products. We use raw materials and produce products that are recyclable and work to enhance the circularity of our products and extend the life of the resources.
Highest standard of waste handling
We strive to reduce waste within our operations by promoting reuse and recycling materials wherever it is feasible. We sort scrap and other waste fractions to facilitate recycling and to preserve the value of these resources. The specific waste fractions sorted may vary between sites, depending on the local waste management infrastructure. However, at all sites, waste must be managed in accordance with the EU Waste Hierarchy, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of waste handling and environmental responsibility.
