Edge trimmings are inevitably generated during the production and final cutting of coiled steel. For many years, they were viewed merely as production waste; however, modern metallurgy demonstrates the opposite.
In fact, coiled steel offcuts are a high-quality secondary raw material that, following appropriate processing, returns to the production cycle.
The subsequent path of this material looks like this:
Steel coil → Slitting → Scrap → Recycling → Raw material for new products.
Subsequently, this raw material is used for the production of:
- steel wire;
- VR-1 wire;
- reinforcing meshes;
- nails;
- steel strip;
- square;
- other metal products.
In this way, enterprises not only reduce the amount of production waste but also return valuable metal to economic circulation.
The global metallurgical industry is increasingly shifting towards a circular economy model, in which metal recycling is becoming a key factor in production efficiency. The use of secondary raw materials helps conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
