Steel is one of the most attractive, most robust and most sustainable materials in the world. Thousands of different types of steel facilitate and improve our daily life in innumerable applications. Steel sets trends in lifestyle: it is the material of design and innovation in many aspects of our life, as for example in vehicles, building constructions, medical devices or household equipment. But steel does much more than that. Steel is 100% recyclable and therefore contributes significantly to the long-term conservation of fundamental resources for future generations.
The European steel industry’s annual revenues total about 200 billion Euros, it directly employs 420 thousand people and produces about 200 million tonnes of steel per year. More than 500 steel production sites in 22 EU Member States provide direct and indirect employment and a living for millions of European citizens.
