Through strengthening our leadership and focusing on consistent operational performance in each of our facilities, we are creating a sustainable future for investors, employees, communities, and our environment.

Since the invention of electric arc furnaces in the 1880s, melting scrap steel in electric arc furnaces (EAF) produces EAF dust, a hazardous waste byproduct. In the past, steel producers disposed of EAF dust in hazardous waste landfills. Today, EAF dust is recycled and recovers valuable metals. EAF dust contains valuable non-ferrous metals, especially zinc, nickel, and iron.
Our Vision and Mission aren't just statements; they define the ways in which we operate every day at every facility. To collaboratively work with customers to identify, improve and maximize material recycling value streams, running our business with the highest levels of integrity, process efficiency and sustainability to maximize the long-term return to our stakeholders.
