Steel Manufacturers Association

The Government Affairs Committee convened at SMA headquarters today before heading to Capitol Hill for meetings. The gathering included reps from Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc, CMC, Gerdau North America, Metallus Inc., Radius Recycling, and North Star BlueScope Steel.

It's always a pleasure meeting with our friends from POSCO Steel of South Korea to talk about trade, decarbonization and trends in global steel production and demand.

On #AmericaRecyclesDay, we at Steel Dynamics highlight our operating model and commitment to sustainability—we recycle scrap metals to produce high-quality steel. With 82% of the raw materials used in our Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) sourced from recycled ferrous scrap and internally produced iron, we’re helping to conserve natural resources and reduce waste. #SteelDynamics

At Vallourec - North America, we divert nearly all our production waste from #landfills! We’ve climbed to an impressive 98% recycling rate in 2024 from 91% in 2020. Sustainability is at the core of what we do. From 2015 to 2020, we maintained a solid 86-91% #recycling rate, already above industry norms. However, in the spirit of continuous improvement and our sustainable future, we knew we could do even more. Our team reimagined every aspect of our #steelmaking operations, finding ways to decrease waste generation and increase recycling. In 2021, leadership made a critical financial commitment to advance our recycling initiatives, empowering us to implement cutting-edge technology and innovative waste management solutions. It was through innovative thinking, dedicated efforts, targeted recycling initiatives, and the support of top management that we were able to reach 98% in 2024. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to a #sustainable future. We’re proud of our journey and even more excited for what’s next. #sustainability

A special thank you to Metals Service Center Institute for honoring SSAB with the Safety Culture Improvement Award. ? “We have some very robust and mature safety programs in place, but the true power resides in how we think, act, and interact every day. Our priority is and will always be to ensure that we all make it home to our families and those life moments that await each of us,” SSAB Americas Safety Director David Sears says. #SSABAmericas #MSCI #safety

The EU Corporate Sustainable Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires public companies to disclose (verified) environmental data and sustainability efforts, demonstrating risks as well as progress.? ??→We are lowering emissions through process optimization and high circularity, NOT continued fossil fuel dependence.
