The fastest route to zero is through recycling

To achieve the most environmentally friendly steel production, switching from the traditional BF-BOF route to scrap-based electric steelmaking is crucial for future-proofing steel plants. While this transition is complex, investing in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) and scrap treatment processes allows steelmakers to manage any necessary logistical changes within the plant while maintaining operational capacity.

By capitalizing on steel's recyclability, increasing scrap utilization becomes a central focus for achieving green steel production. Magaldi has developed custom-engineered conveyor systems that meet the demands of scrap handling across all phases.
The Magaldi Superbelt® HD (Heavy-Duty) conveyors efficiently transport up to large volumes of scrap metal from yards to various processing equipment (e.g., shredders, crushers, shears, HMS cleaners, etc.) or directly to the furnace, ensuring the highest levels of reliability and uptime, as well as seamless integration into existing operations.
The versatility of the Superbelt® HD conveyors translates into competitive operational costs, as they enable flexibility in input materials, enhance resilience against supply shortages and market volatility, and can be adapted to diverse scenarios.

TrAsh or Treasure? The Circular Promise of Dry Ash Management

01 July 2025

Every ton of municipal solid waste processed in WtE plants contains valuable metals hidden within Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA). Recovering these metals offers a significant opportunity, with potential revenues reaching up to €30 per ton of waste. Moreover, recycling these materials could prevent 20–30 million tons of CO₂ emissions each year. MADAM (MAgaldi Dry Ash Management) system transforms this process by keeping IBA dry, which enhances recovery rates and preserves the quality of the metals. This innovative approach not only increases market value but also contributes to substantial carbon savings.

Breaking the Waste Cycle: How Dry IBA Management Can Disrupt Landfill Dependency and Ash Pond Pollution

24 June 2025

We burn waste to keep it out of landfills - but what about the ash? If untreated or poorly managed, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) becomes just another form of waste destined for landfills or ash ponds, thus undermining the circularity promise of WtE systems. The Magaldi Dry Ash Management (MADAM) system tackles this critical gap by drastically reducing the amount of IBA sent to landfill and transforming it into a cleaner, high-quality material suitable for reuse.
