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.

Poland’s Waste-to-Energy Expansion Makes Incinerator Bottom Ash a Strategic Resource

19 February 2026

As Poland rapidly scales its thermal treatment capacity toward the 4.2 Mt/year target, a crucial question remains: are you still paying to bury your profits? With the KPGO 2028 targets in sight, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) is no longer a waste to be landfilled but a massive stream of recoverable metals and minerals. Traditional wet systems are becoming a financial drag, degrading metal quality and inflating disposal costs. Are you leaving value on the table for someone else to monetize? Discover how the shift toward dry management solutions, like MADAM (Magaldi Dry Ash Management), is redefining the economics of Polish WtE projects, turning disposal liabilities into high-purity secondary raw materials and boosting plant EBITDA.
