Reuse, remanufacturing and recycling in the steel sector.

The global steel sector is undergoing a transition from being a major CO emitter to a more sustainable circular material service provider, moving towards (near) net zero CO through combined strategies of reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and changes to primary steelmaking. This paper considers the transition using the UK as an example, based on the current sector state and future plans/opportunities. Some key enablers/barriers have been identified, and case studies are presented on the current state of knowledge and technology developments.
