Reach us about your volume requirements — whether you're a steel mill seeking contracted scrap supply, or a generator with large-scale material to move. We respond within 24 hours.
Transforming steel mill waste streams into high-value recycled iron units — returned to the furnace as briquettes and pellets. Closing the circular loop in modern steelmaking.
Every steel mill generates waste that carries recoverable value. ARZ Metals converts these streams into recycled iron units that pay their way back into the furnace.
Electric arc furnace dust is a listed hazardous waste in most jurisdictions. ARZ Metals processes EAF dust through Waelz kiln or hydrometallurgical routes to recover zinc and iron, eliminating landfill liability and generating saleable co-products.
Zinc Recovery · Iron UnitsFine iron-bearing dusts and sludges are agglomerated into cold-bonded briquettes suitable for direct return to the EAF or BOF. Our binder formulations are optimised for furnace conditions, delivering briquettes with sufficient strength for charging without disintegration.
EAF / BOF Charge MaterialMill scale — generated in rolling mills and continuous casting — is rich in iron oxide and ideal for briquetting or pelletising as a charge material. ARZ Metals collects, conditions, and agglomerates mill scale for return to steelmaking operations.
High Fe Recovery · Low ContaminantBlast furnace sludge and LD (BOF) sludge contain significant iron and carbon values. ARZ Metals applies thickening, drying, and agglomeration sequences to produce a stable, handleable product suitable for recycling within the ironmaking process.
Ironmaking Recycle LoopLime fines, dolomite fines, and ferro alloy fines (FeSi, FeMn, FeCr) are briquetted for direct addition to the furnace, recovering alloy value that would otherwise be lost to dust extraction systems.
Alloy Recovery · Flux EfficiencyDRI and HBI fines generated in handling and screening represent high-value iron units. ARZ Metals re-agglomerates these fines into briquettes, recovering their full iron value rather than allowing them to be lost to the yard or sold at a discount.
High Metallisation RecoveryListed hazardous waste from electric arc furnaces. High zinc and iron content. Handled under permit with full regulatory compliance.
Fe 20–40% · Zn 15–35%Blast furnace flue dust recovered from gas cleaning systems. High iron and carbon content suitable for sintering or briquetting.
Fe 35–55% · C 10–25%Dense iron oxide scale generated in hot rolling and continuous casting. Excellent briquetting feedstock with Fe content 68–72%.
Fe 68–72%Iron and calcium-bearing sludge from basic oxygen furnace gas cleaning. Requires drying and agglomeration prior to furnace return.
Fe 40–60%Direct reduced iron fines from handling and screening. High metallisation (88–94% Fe met) — extremely valuable if recovered correctly.
Fe Met 88–94%Hot briquetted iron fines generated in HBI production and handling. Re-agglomerated for safe and effective furnace return.
Fe Met 88–92%Sub-6mm iron ore fines not suitable for direct charging. Pelletised or briquetted with binders for use as BF or DRI feedstock.
Fe 55–67%Iron ore pellet fines and screen undersize. Re-agglomerated to recover iron units at pellet-equivalent quality.
Fe 62–67%Calcined lime fines under 5mm from handling and screening. Briquetted for direct addition as a flux in EAF and BOF operations.
CaO ≥90%Calcined dolomite lime fines. Briquetted as a dolime flux substitute for MgO protection of furnace lining.
CaO+MgO ≥92%Coke breeze and coke fines from handling. Pelletised as a carbon source or used as reductant component in composite briquettes.
C ≥85%FeSi, FeMn, FeCr, FeV fines from alloy handling. Briquetted for direct alloy addition to the furnace, recovering full alloy value.
FeSi · FeMn · FeCrOn-site characterisation of all waste streams — composition, volume, generation rate, and current disposal cost.
Engineering of the optimal agglomeration route — briquetting, pelletising, or combined — matched to each waste stream.
Pilot-scale briquette or pellet production to validate binder formulation, strength, and furnace performance.
Full-scale processing plant commissioned on or near-site. Continuous operation with quality monitoring and process optimisation.
Finished briquettes and pellets delivered to the furnace as charge materials, closing the circular loop and generating measurable cost savings.
Composite briquettes produced from mixed iron-bearing fines using hydraulic or vibration presses and inorganic binders. Ready for EAF or BOF charge.
Spherical pellets produced from fine iron oxide inputs via disc or drum pelletiser, with inorganic binder systems optimised for green and dry strength.
Crude zinc oxide (CZO) recovered from EAF dust treatment, with Zn content 40–65%. Sold to zinc smelters as secondary zinc feedstock.
Lime, dolomite, and coke fines briquetted for direct furnace addition as flux and carbon sources, replacing purchased bulk lime and coke.
The Gulf region is a major EAF steelmaking hub, with significant volumes of EAF dust and DRI fines generated across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain. ARZ Metals serves mills across the region with engineered recycling solutions meeting local regulatory requirements.
India's steel industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world. With an increasingly stringent regulatory environment around hazardous waste disposal, demand for compliant EAF dust treatment and fines recycling solutions continues to grow across both integrated and mini-mill sectors.
European steelmakers face the most demanding regulatory and ESG requirements globally. ARZ Metals supports mills in meeting EU Industrial Emissions Directive obligations and achieving circular economy credentials demanded by green steel buyers in the automotive and construction supply chains.
By returning iron units recovered from waste streams back into the steelmaking process, ARZ Metals creates a genuine circular economy — eliminating landfill disposal and reducing the need for primary raw material procurement.
Recycling iron units back into the furnace reduces the need for virgin iron ore and primary raw materials, directly cutting the embodied carbon intensity of each tonne of steel produced.
ARZ Metals manages hazardous waste streams — particularly EAF dust — in full compliance with applicable regulations across each jurisdiction, protecting mills from environmental liability and regulatory risk.
Partner with ARZ Metals to strengthen your ESG reporting, demonstrate circular economy leadership, and meet the expectations of green steel procurement standards increasingly demanded by automotive and construction customers.
Our team brings decades of hands-on metallurgical and process engineering experience in steelmaking waste streams — from EAF dust characterisation to cold-bonded briquette binder chemistry.
ARZ Metals has successfully implemented waste recycling solutions at major steel mills across three continents. Our references span some of the highest-volume steelmakers in the Middle East, India, and Europe.
No two mills are identical. We engineer bespoke processing solutions matched to your specific waste streams, target products, furnace operating conditions, and regulatory environment.
ARZ Metals converts a cost centre into a revenue stream. Waste disposal costs are eliminated while recovered iron units reduce raw material procurement costs — delivering measurable bottom-line benefit.
We structure long-term operational agreements that align our success with yours. Continuous improvement programmes ensure recovery rates and product quality improve year on year.
From initial waste audit to final furnace feed delivery, ARZ Metals manages the entire value chain. One accountable partner. No gaps in the circular loop.
