Business Model
Keeping World-Changing Materials in Motion
Recycled raw materials are among the most effective levers for industrial decarbonisation. Every tonne of recycled stainless steel scrap, high-performance materials and industrial residues processed by Aperam Recycling Aperam Recycling significantly improves the Scope 3 emission performance of stainless steel makers and high-performance metal manufacturers compared to primary raw material usage.
Across our three specialised business units, Aperam Recycling operates business models designed to keep infinite, world-changing materials in motion, secure critical supply chains and advance the global circular economy.
Aperam Recycling Stainless: Turning Scrap Metal Into High-Value Raw Material
