“Dissemination of results of the European projects dealing with reuse and recycling of by-products steel sector (REUSteel)” is a project co-founded by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).

The project is framed in the context of more eco-friendly and sustainable solutions in the steel industry. The reuse and recycling of by-products of the steelmaking cycles as well as on the exploitation of by-products from other activities outside the steel production cycle, such as alternative carbon sources (e.g., biomasses and plastics) are the proper actions to move towards a saving of the natural resources together with a reduction of the environmental impact, hence being closer to a “zero-waste” goal.

“REUSteel” aims at an extensive action of dissemination and valorisation of the most important research results on by-products reuse and recycling, based on an integrated critical analysis of many EU-funded projects, in order to promote results exploitation and increase the synergies with other industrial sectors. This analysis will allow identifying the most urgent needs and ambitions of the European steel sector and defining a sequence of future research topics in this field.

A joint critical analysis, carried out by all the partners, belonging to different institutions, will provide new insights and guidelines for future research topics in this field, in order to promote the dissemination and, consequently, the implementation of the achieved results. The project will also organise the results, in order to present selected groups of topics at planned workshops and seminars. This will provide a clearer vision of the outcomes to stakeholders and new audiences, in order to get new and deeper indications for a new roadmap, future synergies with other sectors and industrial trends.
