Steel plate produced from recycled steel via an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) has a significantly lower emissions profile than steel produced utilising a more traditional oxygen furnace. But as with all recycling industries, you may not be able to use the next generation of product in all the same applications as the first generation. The off-shore wind industry is an example where virgin steel plate is used to ensure maximum strength and durability. But that may be about to change.
