REUSteel – Dissemination of results from European research projects on the reuse and recycling of by-products in the steel sector

Initial situation:

  • Many EU-funded projects on by-products reuse and recycling have already been carried out in the last 15 years
  • Requirement of an Accompanying Measure activity to evaluate and analysis the large number of projects

Working topics:

  • Collection of knowledge dealing with the reuse and recycling of by-products within the steel industry
  • Evaluating the impact of the results on the sustainability and the competitiveness; Identifying the most promising and useful emerging development lines as well as technological and non-technological barriers
  • Dissemination of the gained knowledge from current research activities
  • Identifying a future roadmap and a sequence of research topics

Results:

  • Generation of a roadmap stating research needs, requirements and boundary conditions for breakthrough technologies by implementing the key findings in the strategic research agenda of the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP)
  • The development of the wider improvement of by-products reuse and recycling in the future years
