Product Stewardship

Our research and development expertise is helping to drive the development of more sustainable construction and manufacturing materials

We are putting our industry-leading research and development (R&D) expertise behind the drive for more sustainable construction and manufacturing. As a result, all our new products are now developed with energy and resource efficiency in mind.

ArcelorMittal is the largest recycler of scrap steel in the world, and we work with local and national governments to promote it further. Every year more than 25 million tonnes of our products are recovered and recycled, which saves around 36 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2). We also have a dedicated team to evaluate our processes and products using a life-cycle assessment methodology. This analyses every stage in the life of a piece of steel from mining and processing to use, recycling and eventual disposal.
