Steel recycling has a very long tradition. Waste tools and weapons were already being resmelted in the Iron Age. Today, more than half of all steel worldwide is produced from scrap, in modern electric steel works it can be as much as 100 %.
The prerequisite for efficient steel recycling is the grade purity; this means that no other material must remain in the scrap besides steel.
Therefore, we grade our goods on receipt at the unloading station into different qualities and remove all contraries.
Our handling processes are as diverse as the types of scrap we receive. We collect and store production remnants from industry and craft in an environmentally-friendly manner, such as sheets, chips or punching remnants, before they flow back into the production cycle.
Rails, beams and bulk storage tanks are pressed and broken down on our scrap cutters in unit sizes provided by the customer. We cut up empty containers, such as gas bottles or heating boilers, to prevent such hollow bodies bursting when they are smelted at the steel works.
Thanks to our own wharfage we can load the prepared scrap in large quantities direct from storage to the ships and, thus, supply steel works at home and abroad in an environmentally-friendly and energy-saving manner.
