Quick Takeaways
- Two global steel recycling leaders deepen collaboration to scale low-carbon steelmaking using post-consumer scrap.
- Automotive and electromobility sectors gain access to lower-emission flat steel without process or performance trade-offs.
thyssenkrupp bluemint recycled steel continues to gain momentum as thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG enters a long-term supply agreement with TSR Group for the delivery of TSR40 recycled steel. The agreement supports thyssenkrupp’s strategy to lower carbon emissions while maintaining high material performance for demanding industrial applications.
Under the agreement, TSR40 recycled steel will be supplied to thyssenkrupp Steel for use in its blast furnace operations. Produced using post-consumer materials such as end-of-life vehicles and mixed scrap, the recycled input directly contributes to reduced CO2 emissions in conventional steelmaking while enabling scalable sustainability improvements.
TSR40 recycled steel production and sourcing
TSR40 recycled steel has been manufactured at TSR Group’s recycling facility in Duisburg since 2023, with additional production capacity established at sites in Hamburg and Amsterdam from 2024. The material is derived from carefully processed post-consumer scrap streams, ensuring consistent quality and suitability for industrial-grade steel production.
By integrating TSR40 into blast furnace operations, thyssenkrupp bluemint recycled steel establishes a reliable pathway to lower-emission flat steel without compromising structural integrity, formability, or downstream processing requirements.
Automotive and electromobility applications
Flat steel produced under the thyssenkrupp bluemint recycled steel portfolio is suitable for all standard applications. This includes use in the automotive industry and electromobility, where manufacturers increasingly require materials that combine sustainability credentials with proven mechanical performance.
Key application benefits include:
The supply agreement reinforces thyssenkrupp’s approach of combining recycled content with established steelmaking technologies to support the transition toward lower-carbon mobility and industrial value chains.
