Uddeholm Real Actions

The best raw material is the material that is recycled over and over again. A circular economy is the exact opposite of a linear economy. Instead of manufacturing, purchasing and scrapping items, everything that has been manufactured is used for as long as possible. When the items are eventually spent, as much as possible is reused and recycled. A circular economy is based on circularity, which involves optimising economic and environmental values, primarily by reusing materials, but also recycling them.

鋼材是循環經濟的重要組成部分,幾乎所有鋼材都可回收。在廢料加工中,早先被丟棄的廢料,如今都能重新使用。世界上約1/3的鋼鐵生產來自回收廢料及再加工。電弧爐主要用於熔化廢鋼。如果採用廢料作為原材料,生產每噸鋼材的單位能耗(kWh)僅為礦石制鋼的1/5。

我們不僅僅擅長基於回收利用的核心業務。生產過程產生的近3萬噸的廢料,其中大部分脫落的爐渣、磚渣和氧化皮等都會被重新利用,只有一小部分被填埋。
