We produce steel with the most sustainable and efficient production system, in an electric arc furnace that generates 9 times less emissions than conventional blast furnaces. Furthermore, our facilities and processes are adapted to ensure maximum reuse and recovery of our waste and improve our energy efficiency.

“We want to be part of the solution to the problem of climate change and that is why we are already a low-emission company and we have set the goal of reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% in 2030 and being Net positive in 2050”

Climate change

We want to be part of the solution to the problem of climate change and that is why we have incorporated the decarbonization strategy into the company’s priorities.

We are already a low-emissions company and we have set the goal of reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% in 2030 and being a Net Positive company in 2050.

This strategy involves 3 fundamental aspects:

The energy efficiency of our processes
The progressive substitution of fuels or raw materials for others with lower CO2 emissions, as well as the incorporation of byproducts as raw materials.
Digitization and monitoring of processes

Efficient water management

Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC’s most relevant industrial processes are carried out at high temperatures. This fact implies the need to use water to ensure cooling of both the facilities and the manufactured product. In Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC we are totally committed to the efficient use of this valuable natural resource.

Our specific water consumption values in our plants remain among the best in the sector thanks to the continuous implementation of actions that reduce said consumption and their constant monitoring.

How do we do it?

Use of semi-closed cooling circuits that allow the continuous reuse of most of the water in the process.
Implementation of rainwater collection and reuse systems.
Ensuring the quality of reused water.

Circular economy

For Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC, waste management is an opportunity and a clear example of commitment to the circular economy. All activities in Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC are developed according to these principles. Along these lines, various actions are carried out to promote more sustainable and positive development for the environment:

The use of ferrous scrap as raw material. In the steel mill, the waste recycling process is developed to convert it back into a commercial product. This allows for lower energy costs and more sustainable and efficient development.
Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC products are eternally recyclable thanks to the properties of steel. This allows all manufactured products to return to the life cycle without the need to overexploit natural resources.
Valorization and use of waste generated during the steel process. These generated materials are considered co-products due to their high intrinsic value. They have a high capacity to be used as secondary raw material for processes such as road construction or for reuse in the process of obtaining steel.

In Celsa HUTA OSTROWIEC we are circular. More than 95% of the materials we use in production are recycled, 100% of the products we generate are recyclable and we recover more than 90% of the waste generated by our production process.

We recirculate more than 600,000 tons of materials, including ferrous scrap, waste from our own production processes, and other non-ferrous metals. With this we avoid the accumulation of waste in landfills and once again obtain steel products of high value for society without the need to undermine natural resources.

“We believe in sustainable development that provides a better future for future generations.”
