Benefits

Profit from waste

We cold process your waste to EcolBriq® briquettes to replace some of the metallic feedstock in your plant. We optimize the composition of EcolBriq® according to your requirements to improve your production processes and use of materials, and to reduce CO2 emissions. Our EcolBriq® is appropriate for all furnace types: from small cupola furnaces through blast furnaces, tandem furnaces and electric arc furnaces to converters.

Benefits

  • Profit from high-quality feedstock
  • Reduce costs for primary feedstock
  • Reduce costs for emission allowances
  • Totally avoid landfill costs
