OPPORTUNITY FOR STEEL INDUSTRY

42% of crude steel produced is recycled material.Re-melting proportion of steel scrap is constrained by availability. Availability can sometimes be defined as cost effective recovery.

Iron and steel are the world's most recycled materials, and among the easiest materials to reprocess, as they can be separated magnetically from the waste stream.

Steel reuse is any process where end-of-life steel is not re-melted but rather enters a new product use phase.Steel buildings and products are intrinsically demountable.

For the materials that were analyzed in the structural scope for this study, Zinc was initially thought to be of high concern. However, the quantity of zinc was so low that the probability that it was imported from a high risk country was low.

Sand and Aggregate are present in high quantities in this building so if they were sourced from high risk countries, they would be of the greatest concern for this project.

Timber, while it has a very low GSI score, still has a 3.0 for its ITUC because its source is Canada. It would be a concerning country of import with regards to labor exploitation due to the large amount of mass present in this building.

Virgin steel brings out a lot of countries of import with high ITUC
