SMM11 March 30: yesterday, the national standard of "recycled iron and steel raw materials" was examined and approved. According to the introduction of the national standard compilation group of "recycled iron and steel raw materials", recycled iron and steel raw materials are waste steel after classified recovery and processing, and can be used as furnace charge products directly as iron resources. Compared with the use of iron ore, steelmaking with recycled iron and steel raw materials can greatly reduce pollutant emissions. Therefore, recycled iron and steel raw materials are not only a kind of renewable resources, but also the only ferrous resources that can replace iron ore, and it is an important raw material for the green development of iron and steel industry.

Jiang Wei, deputy secretary of the party committee of China Iron and Steel Association, pointed out that the implementation of the standard of "recycled steel raw materials" can promote the recycling of recycled steel raw materials in the iron and steel industry and promote the green development of energy saving and emission reduction in the iron and steel industry. It can standardize and improve the level of recycling of domestic and foreign renewable resources, make full use of domestic and international high-quality renewable resources, and maximize the partial substitution of international and domestic recycled iron and steel raw materials for iron ore. To a certain extent, it can restrain the use of iron ore and the rise of prices; It will strongly support the implementation of the Law of the people's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental pollution by solid waste, promote the construction of ecological civilization in the import management of solid waste, effectively promote the structural adjustment of long and short processes in the iron and steel industry, and enhance the basic capacity of the industry. promote the high-quality development of the industry; It will strongly support General Secretary Xi Jinping's commitment at the general debate of the 75th UN General Assembly: "strive to reach a peak in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and strive to be carbon neutral by 2060."
