Solutions

Steel. Smarter.

With our innovative technologies, we enable steel producers to operate waste free, reduce cost of raw materials, reduce CO₂ emissions, and have supply security on critical metals.

High value metals

Pricing below equivalent virgin metals enables producers to improve their economic fundamentals

High quality metals

Delivering high quality metals that can directly drop in existing processes and substitute virgin metals

Secures critical metal supply chain

Providing locally recovered, circular metals such as nickel, molybdenum, and chromium

Supports industry decarbonisation

Upcycling domestic production waste to avoid significant tCO2e emissions per ton of virgin metal substituted

The Future of Steel Starts Here

Steel CleanUp developed groundbreaking technologies that provide valuable raw materials recovered from steel production waste streams. The materials produced are reused by the steel producers, creating full circularity and a waste free environment, while significantly reducing raw materials cost. Steel CleanUp upcycles the materials efficiently, fully electric, and CO₂ free, providing fully green materials on a discount.

How does it work?

Solids Feed

Waste streams are prepared to ensure maximum feedstock quality.

Concentration

Valuable metals are concentrated in various fractions, significantly increasing the value compared to the blended input material.

Reduction

The concentrated materials are converted to metallic materials using hydrogen and green electricity.

Finished Products

The concentrated and metallic materials are circled back to steel producers, substituting expensive, pollutive, and non-eu virgin metals.

Application area

Steel production

Stainless steel production waste contains the metals producers require. Recovering and upcycling these into high-value green metals that substitute virgin metals reduce import dependence, lower emissions, and improve raw material cost profile.
