The stainless steel scrap used is more in line with the needs of green and sustainable development and the requirements of ultra-low emission policy in the iron and steel industry. The importance of scrap steel resources in the development of iron and steel industry may continue to increase in the future.

EAF steelmaking can also greatly reduce the emission of waste pollutants.

For example, reduce carbon dioxide by 86%, waste water by 76% and waste residue by 97%.

ZP304EF (Eco-Firendly) is an environmentally friendly stainless steel developed by PZSS with a Scrap ratio of ≥ 90%. Compared with general PZSS 304, the content of recyclable matter increases by 100%, and the effect of energy saving and emission reduction is obvious; and through composition fine tuning and process optimization, ZP304EF can be subdivided into deep drawing, surface treatment, precision, welding and so on to meet the needs of customers in different industries.
