Flagship recycling project
HIGH-END QUALITY
Automotive innovation: Insights into future-oriented development
High-end steel is essential in the automotive industry and is characterized by its nearly 100% recyclability. But can steel be produced in high-end quality forever?
Mercedes-Benz, TSR Recycling and voestalpine are working together to show how this can be done. Michaela Kraus, Sustainability Manager in the voestalpine Steel Division, provides some insights into the project.
High-quality steel through effective recycling
- Nearly 100% of all steel can be recycled
- New steel can be produced from scrap
- High-end steels are possible with more than 25% secondary raw materials
- Hybrid technology: startup of our first electric arc furnace that will run on green electricity in 2027
- 2050 target: Steel production with net zero carbon emissions
