[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]When we talk about Green Steel, we are not referring to a simple commercial label, but to a concrete model of circular economy: steel produced through rigorous processes designed to significantly reduce CO\u2082 emissions throughout the entire life cycle. This result is achieved by acting on three fundamental levers:<\/p>\n

Optimized raw materials: Use of a very high percentage of recycled scrap with a circular economy perspective.
\nEfficient processes: Technologies that limit the consumption of energy and primary resources.
\nClean energy sources: Use of low-carbon energy in production.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]It is a fundamental paradigm shift, well summarized by the words of Mauro Bonomi:<\/p>\n

Today, talking about sustainability does not mean following a trend. It means taking responsibility for what we produce, transform, and deliver every day.

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Swiss Steel Group Model: EAF and Circular Economy” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text css=””]According to the vision of Swiss Steel Group, of which we are proud partners for Italy, Green Steel is a concrete reality. The company stands out for producing steel exclusively through Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and not the traditional coal-based blast furnace route. The system is based on processing approximately 2 million tons of scrap per year, making the group one of the largest players in recycling in the countries where it operates.
\nThanks to rigorous operating standards and the adoption of energy coming largely from renewable sources, overall emissions are up to 83% lower than the global sector average.
\nThe \u201cGreen Steel\u201d initiative is therefore a structured program of progressive emissions reduction, based on measurable and transparent data. The goal is twofold: to decarbonize internal production and to support customers and partners in reducing the climate footprint of their finished products by providing a fully transparent carbon footprint.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

While we do not deal with steel production, as distributors and strategic partners, we actively contribute to the “Green” supply chain by working on four key aspects: selection, responsibility, transparency, and technical support.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\n

Selection of producers
\nSustainability begins with the choice of supplier. We historically collaborate with partners like Swiss Steel Group who adopt low-emission processes and advanced circular economy models, such as the exclusive use of EAF technology. This allows us to offer the Italian market materials that combine maximum technical performance with consistency with new ESG requirements.
\nResponsible material use
\nSteel is a precious and sustainable resource that does not lose quality even after repeated use. Through optimized cuts and correct planning of processing in our service center, we work to minimize scrap (offcuts) generated internally and in our customers’ processes. Less waste means less material to remelt and fewer resources consumed: a more efficient supply chain overall.
\nTransparency on supplied materials
\nThe market demands reliable data. When available, we share technical and environmental information regarding the materials we distribute. Transparency in disclosing the carbon footprint allows our customers to evaluate and control their upstream emissions (Scope 3).
\nTargeted technical support
\nThe most sustainable steel is the one that is not wasted. We provide our metallurgical expertise to choose the steel grade best suited to the specific application, avoiding oversizing, reworking, or unnecessary heat treatments that would needlessly impact costs and the overall environmental impact.

For producers like Swiss Steel Group, it means rethinking industrial processes by turning waste into value; for companies like Bonomi Acciai, it means selecting consciously, working more efficiently, and providing customers with clear information.
\nThe transition is underway: our task is to accompany it with competence, concreteness, and responsibility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1717678542423{background-color: #ebebeb !important;}” visibility=”hidden-phone”][vc_column]
