The value of Steel
Steel supports safe and comfortable lives for an abundant world in the future
■Properties superior to other materials
〇Mass production at low cost
It can be stably mass produced at a reasonable price, contributing to the sustainable development of society.
〇Extremely low environmental impact at the manufacturing stage when compared to other materials
The functional equivalent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of steel at the manufacturing stage is 1/4 to 1/5 of that of aluminum and carbon fiber.
〇Ease of processing
Compared to other materials, it is overwhelmingly easy to process.
■Excellent recyclability
Steel is a material with excellent recyclability, such as its property enabling magnetic separation and retrieval. Even after a final product made of steel ends its life in society, it is reborn over and over again into a high-quality, high-functional product through highly efficient separation and retrieval technologies.
■Foundation for life and society
〇Steel as a crucial material used in a wide range of industries
〇Growth potential on a global basis
