Australian steel manufacturer Molycop, the UNSW SMaRT Centre, footwear manufacturer Crawford Boots and the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) have collaborated and commercialised a new project. Rethinking innovation in manufacturing for a ‘greener’ process in steelmaking with recycled materials. Narrative Post photographed the launch for the media release.

Molycop’s steel manufacturing process now incorporates rubber from sources including tyres and work boots in its electric arc furnace. It saves on their electricity consumption and removes “up to 90,000 tyres from landfill” according to the press release. They are calling it Green Steel technology or Polymer injection technology. “The process involves maximising the recovery and utilisation of waste rubber from end-of-life vehicle tyres, conveyor belts and rubber safety boots as a substitute for imported carbonaceous material used in the company’s Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) in Newcastle.”
