Green steel: why scrap metal is key to cutting CO2
Steel is the backbone of modern infrastructure, but its production is one of the most carbon-intensive industrial processes. As industries seek to cut emissions in line with global climate commitments, the push for “green steel” has intensified. As Carl-Gustaf Göransson, CEO of Lindemann Metal Recycling, explains, at the heart of this transition lies a crucial, often overlooked, material – scrap metal.
