Scrap Processing

Recycling scrap steel for the production of value added products

The steel manufacturing industry is truly sustainable. Steel is 100% recyclable and is indeed the most recycled material on the globe. Every new steel product contains recycled steel and in some countries the recycling rate is as high as 85%.

Scaw Metals Germiston produces half-a-million tonnes of liquid steel each year using recycled steel scrap and directly reduced iron from its rotary kilns.

Scaw Metals’ Scrap Processing Division (SPD) operates three sites in the Germiston area:

• SPD (Union Junction)
• Rand Scrap Iron (Germiston East)
• LeoScrap (Germiston West)

SPD purchases both processed and unprocessed scrap from scrap dealers. The plant operates the largest scrap shredder in Africa as part of its processing facilities and serves as the distribution point for processed scrap products used in Scaw Metals’ melting operations.

Both Rand Scrap and LeoScrap offer a collection service to scrap generators and also purchase scrap metals from the general public. Both sites utilise scrap processing equipment and their products are delivered to SPD.

SPD product excess to Scaw Metals' requirements may be made available to the open market.
