Abstract
The use of recycled materials provides sustainable and costeff ective resource saving, in particular, reducing the consumption of mineral raw materials and carbon dioxide emissions. To assess the environmental impact of using converter slag, the Fraunhofer Project Group for Recycling and Resource Strategies (IWKS) conducted a life cycle assessment. According to the results obtained, real methods for utilizing converter slag of thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG give a greater positive eff ect than refusing them in favor of additional extraction of primary raw materials.
