Where It’s Used & Why It Matters:
- Steel Re-rolling Mills: Reprocessed into billets, rebars, and structural beams for construction and infrastructure.
- Shipbuilding & Heavy Engineering: Used in casting and forging of frames, shafts, and marine equipment due to its robust mass.
- Railway & Automotive Industries: Recycled into axle casings, rail clips, and automotive chassis where strong foundational steel is needed.
- Metal Fabrication Plants: Melted down to manufacture pipes, tubes, and industrial machine components.
- Recycling-Driven Steel Production: Saves 74% of the energy compared to making virgin steel from iron ore — crucial for low-carbon manufacturing.
