High value metals
Pricing below equivalent virgin metals enables producers to improve their economic fundamentals.
Circular metals for stainless and specialty steel producers
Steel. Smarter.
With our technologies, we enable stainless and specialty steel producers to reduce their cost of raw materials, cut emissions, operate waste free, and secure supply of critical metals.
High quality metals
Delivering high quality metals that can directly drop in existing processes and substitute virgin metals.
Secures critical metal supply chain
Providing locally recovered, circular alloys with metals such as nickel, molybdenum, and chromium.
Supports industry decarbonisation
Upcycling domestic production waste to avoid significant tCO₂e emissions per ton of virgin metal substituted.
Partners
Trusted by Europe's leading steel producer
Steel CleanUp's first commercial plant is under development in Alkmaar, built to serve a Tier 1 stainless steel producer. Our recovered alloys are engineered to drop directly into existing production processes — no requalification, no compromise on output quality.
The process
How does it work?
- 01
Solids feed
Waste streams are prepared to ensure maximum feedstock quality.
- 02
Concentration
Valuable metals are concentrated in various fractions, significantly increasing the value compared to the blended input material.
- 03
Reduction
The concentrated materials are converted to metallic form using low-carbon electricity and hydrogen as the reducing agent.
- 04
Finished products
The concentrated and metallic materials are circled back to our steel partners, substituting virgin metals in their furnaces.
How Steel CleanUp Makes Steel Production Future Proof
We believe in the power of technology, science and the drive of people. By cleverly combining these, we develop revolutionary solutions that accelerate the industrial transition, the circular economy, and the climate transition.
