Steel Slang

Waste that we transform into wealth.

The co-products are those residues that have a high potential for reuse and that are no longer subjected to any type of process or internal treatment.

Through them, we offer alternatives that benefit the environment, such as the reuse and reduction of waste generated by the production of steel, as well as the implementation of alternatives focused on the recycling of co-products to incorporate them into a new Lifecycle. Thanks to this they can be used in construction, paving, the cement industry, etc.

Co-products

The use of co-products guarantees you great advantages in projects. They reduce the consumption of natural resources by substituting and minimizing raw materials. They reduce the emissions of compounds and greenhouse gases (CyGHEI). On the other hand, its cost is lower compared to that of traditional materials.

We divide co-products into two types: process-generated and service-generated. The first are slag, scale, and dust from steel foundry. The second, is refractories, cardboard, wood, PET, aluminium, and copper, among others.

Steel Slang

The slag processed from the electric arc furnace is the co-product that is most generated in the production of steel, it has different uses and applications in the construction industry, such as paving, hydraulic base, railway ballast, aggregates, material cementing agent, among others, since we are constantly developing new ways of taking advantage of it.
