Improving the iron andsteelmaking process

In the iron and steelmaking process,promote the efficient use of raw materials
and water resources, reduced generationand emission of co-products and reuse ofco-products, and use of recycledresources and recycling of resources.

Solution 6

Using renewable energy sources

Efficient use of co-products• Waste power generation, biomass
power generation• Recycling food waste, biogas
generation from sludge• For cement material, etc.

Initiative 4

Global circulation of scrap
Contributing to the expansion of arecycling-oriented society at a
global scale by efficiently
recovering and transporting ironscrap.

Shared Initiatives

Develop resource recycling
technologies and products

Collaboration withadministrative entities

Develop technologies andproducts that efficiently useco-products generated in theGroup’s production process aswell as wastes generated duringsocial activities.

Established a new local-based
power company in collaboration
with an administration to promotelocal generation and local
consumption of electricity throughwaste power generation, etc.
