Metals Recycling & Reuse
Kindly supported by
Surplus/waste?? 600,000 T cancelled project
Steel is a great material and 95%+ is currently recycled
Steel can do better than that!! - properties don’t deteriorate - REUSE
Cannot reuse ;
Steel that’s be subject to Radioactivity
Steel that has been subject to fire (need to check the history of the building, standards on the re-use of steel after a fire etc)
Steel that’s been subject to fatigue ( may need to carry out further inspections for micro-cracking of the steel)
Recycle – saves 70% carbon vs new
Reuse – saves 96% carbon vs new
Recycle – that’s enough?
Can we reuse?
YESCPR – one of 7 tenets is sustainability – principle
Eurocode 3 – Part 1 –
Performance qualities
Basic Reuse Protocol
Specify the required properties
Establish test frequency
Test
Compare results to spec
Steel Construction Institute
Specification
Specification is key
Specifications include modern grades, how can you hope
to reuse?
Specify by performance criteria – not by size and grade
Minimise usage
EAF vs BOF – this is a GLOBAL emergency. Is ticking all
your own “green” boxes really making a difference or just
punting the problem to someone else

Niche
-Developing market (unless you want tubes!)
-Need to be flexible in design requirements
-Don’t go for all or nothing solution – some reuse better then none
-See what assets you have already AND WHO ELSE MIGHT WANT THEM – FUEL THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
-Its already happening and more and more are talking about it
