Against this background, the Oryx Stainless Group commissioned the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT at the end of 2009 to conduct a comprehensive study to examine and quantify how much environmentally harmful CO 2 can be saved when new stainless steel is used is produced predominantly from high-quality secondary raw material blends and not from primary raw materials. The results are convincing: According to the calculations by Fraunhofer UMSICHT, an average of more than 4.5 t CO 2 per tonne of stainless steel scrap blends used is saved. Measured against the forecast production figures for 2015, the use of 75% stainless steel scrap blend for the production of new stainless steels would result in a CO 2 reduction in the order of magnitude of the annual emissions of a megacity with more than 10 million inhabitants.
