Land Fill Diversion & CO2 Reporting
Global metals markets are evolving to become greener. Steelmakers worldwide are in a race to meet decarbonization goals under the growing scrutiny of the global leaders and consumers of steel products, who all have commitments to the energy transition.
In 2022, the World Economic Forum, which consists of more than 50 corporations, pledged to purchase “green” steel and lower carbon steel products, including other low carbon emitting commodities, by 2030.
As the momentum increases to decarbonize the metals industry, ZWTL continues to lead the way by assisting our clients with landfill diversion and beneficial repurposing of post-production steel byproducts. Our new green steel reporting, which were launched to help to define, measure and communicate landfill diversion and carbon footprint to support the Steel industries decarbonization mandates.
Our team can analyze the key developments happening across green steel, global scrap and low carbon raw materials markets to provide a detailed report to our customers on the amounts of CO2, NOX and SOX eliminated with the ZWTL customized repurposing programs.
Resource Efficiency and Recycling
Briquetting allows for the efficient use of metal by-products. In metallurgical processes, a significant amount of metal waste like dust, fines, or sludge is generated. Briquetting these materials makes them easier to recycle and reintroduce into the production cycle, reducing waste and saving resources.
Reduction of Environmental Impact
By recycling metal waste into briquettes and reducing the need for mining new raw materials, the environmental impact associated with mining and ore processing is significantly lowered. Additionally, briquetting can help in reducing air pollution caused by dust and other particulate matter.

Improved Handling and Transportation
Briquettes are denser and more compact than loose materials, making them easier and more cost-effective to transport and handle. This is particularly important in metallurgy, where the transportation of raw materials and by-products can be a significant logistical challenge and cost factor.
Quality
Control
Briquetting allows for better control over the composition and quality of the materials being fed into the metallurgical process. This consistency is vital in ensuring the quality of the final metal products.

Energy
Efficiency
Briquettes have a higher density and uniform shape, which leads to more efficient melting processes. They can be directly fed into furnaces, reducing the energy required for melting and processing. This efficiency is crucial in metallurgical operations where energy costs can be a significant part of the overall expenses.
Cost
Savings
The overall cost savings from using briquettes include reduced waste disposal costs, lower raw material costs due to recycling, and decreased energy consumption. These savings are crucial for the economic viability of metallurgical operations.
