The future of steel making

Image
  The steel industry is the backbone of industries. These include construction, infrastructure, automobiles, and manufacturing. Steel is usually produced and heavily relies on iron as a primary material. It is then further processed to obtain the best-in-class product. However, with an increase in environmental concerns, the demand for sustainability has greatly increased. Scrap metal is a highly sought-after alternative to iron ore as a raw material. Environmental aspects Steel production has a major environmental impact. It is thus   being debated if it should be produced from iron ore or recycled scrap metal. The issue arises from the fact that the production of steel leads to carbon emissions and requires a lot of energy. On the other hand, using recycled scrap proves to be more environmentally friendly. It tends to be more energy efficient since dealing with scrap metal can be done at lower temperatures and can lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The resource cons...
