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
