Our approach to developing solutions is to solve the specific challenges facing individual customers – each contract is entirely bespoke. But we also recognize that many of the environmental, quality or logistical issues are common to most producers. So we transfer best operating practice across the group to ensure our solutions always reflect the latest process technology or industry regulations.

Resource Recovery Case Studies

A growing number of metals producers have embraced the goal of zero waste. Harsco Metals enables these strategies by providing economically and environmentally viable solutions for recycling by-products. We process and blend by-products to meet the specific chemical, mechanical and physical properties required of the final recycled product. Recovery of metallic units is optimized, utilizing a range of patented process technologies. Through our global R&D network and quality assurance programs, we have developed markets for by-products in end use industries across multiple applications.


By-product application Case Studies

Harsco Metals sells 10 million tons annually of steel aggregates in18 countries, thereby reducing landfilling of slag and quarrying of natural aggregates. Our approach is to develop aggregate solutions entirely adapted to local market conditions. Harsco Metals processes and recycles a range of steelmaking slags, including BOS Slag, EAF Slag, AOD Slag, and Ladle Slags. The processing reflects:

  • National or State Regulations specifying physical and mechanical properties of materials to be used
  • Additional Product requirements: expected service life, user preferences etc.
