Turning Scrap
into Industry-grade
Steel
We buy, sort, and process steel scrap into high-quality billets, slabs, sheets, and profiles for OEMs in construction, automotive, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
Overview
Steel is the backbone of modern infrastructure and manufacturing—and it's also one of the world's most recycled materials. Recycling scrap steel can save up to 74% energy compared to primary production and, in general, reduces greenhouse gas emissions by a significant amount. Steel is infinitely recyclable, retaining full strength and quality through every cycle.
Metalbook connects scrap suppliers with recyclers and OEMs, allowing for transparent, traceable, quality-verified steel sourcing and easy delivery of recycled steel products.
Why is it Important?
Recycling steel is vital for creating a low-carbon, resource-efficient future. Globally, industry research shows producing steel from scrap utilizes 80-90% less energy than the same operation using iron ore and coal, and could save as much as 73% in CO₂ emissions. Steel recycling drastically reduces mining and primary steelmaking's impact on air and water pollution. Recycling steel conserves large quantities of raw materials, with every tonne of recycled steel saving an estimated 1,400 kg of iron ore and 740 kg of coal. Steel can be recycled infinitely without diminished strength, making it an important part of the circular economy, so valuable material remains in use and landfills are reduced. From an economic perspective, recycled steel is an affordable, stable variable for manufacturers to produce products, while permitting industries to share outcomes addressing ESG, sustainability, and net-zero.

Solar & Steel: The Twin Pillars of a Sustainable Industrial Future
Solar energy is revolutionizing the steel industry — reducing emissions, reducing costs, and accelerating sustainable manufacturing.
Recycling steel saves about 60-75% of energy compared to making steel from virgin raw materials, depending on the steel type and process. This translates to savings of approximately 16-19 gigajoules per ton of steel produced, significantly cutting electricity consumption and fossil fuel use.
Around 85-90% of steel is recycled worldwide, with about 85% of all steel ever produced still in use today due to steel's durability and recyclability without loss of quality.
Producing steel from scrap generates 70-80% fewer CO₂ emissions compared to primary production from iron ore, saving roughly 1.5 to 4.3 tons of CO₂ equivalent per ton of recycled steel.
Recycling steel conserves iron ore, coal, limestone, and other natural resources, reducing mining impacts and waste sent to landfills.
