Circular Steel returns in 2025 with an in-person afternoon event in Paddington, London.
As part of the ASBP Reuse Now Campaign, our Sustainability Research Lead, Asselia Katenbayeva, is presenting our Delivering Innovative Steel ReUse ProjectT. Steel is one of the most widely used and resource-intensive materials in construction. Although it is commonly recycled at the end of its life, even greater benefits can be achieved through reusing steel. Steel reuse offers up to 97% embodied carbon savings compared to using new steel and is ten times less carbon intensive than recycling.
DISRUPT1 explored steel reuse from the entire value chain perspective, developing business models for key supply chain actors and gathering case studies on steel reuse. DISRUPT2 focused on the major challenge of steel reuse – the limited availability of reclaimed steel from demolition. We worked closely with demolition contractors and established a Working Group on Steel Reuse in collaboration with our project partners, the Institute of Demolition Engineers and Cleveland Steel and Tubes. Outputs from these research projects include the DISRUPT Steel Reuse Toolkit that is free to download and use.
