SUMMARY:The importance of Scope 3.1 emissions and how to tackle them
DESCRIPTION:Swiss Steel Group (SSG) is Europe’s largest electrical steel producer and the leading producer of specialty steel long products worldwide. Thanks to scrap-based steel production, SSG is also one of Europe’s largest recyclers and a leading provider of Green Steel solutions with a re-utilization rate of up to 100%. By closing the recoverable material cycle and the intelligent use of scrap, SSG and their products can considerably reduce the emissions of all supply chains at the starting point – compared to the blast furnace production route, e.g., for CO2, by more than 80%.

Scope 3.1 emissions from purchased materials represent by far the largest share of the carbon footprint of SSG products. To further reduce it, SSG is extending its recycling expertise to include additional secondary raw materials and is increasingly working with its suppliers. The ongoing project to reclaim alloying elements from industrial waste is the only one of its kind world-wide! It provides a way to continue to reduce the use of primary ore-containing alloys in future and thus dramatically improve the footprint of stainless steels.
Another crucial element is the close cooperation with suppliers and the collection of primary emission data. SSG is leading the way and is the first European steel manufacturer to contact its suppliers in a structured manner to be able to specifically measure and control the footprint of its own purchased raw materials.
