Secondary raw materials also help the environment, as unlike metal bearing ores (primary raw materials) they do not need the same intensive preparation – and so can be fed directly into furnaces. By using these secondary raw materials, which do not require such energy intensive preparation before they are ready for furnaces, energy consumption in steel production can be reduced by as much as 70% when compared with the use of primary ore. The energy saving for aluminium is even greater at 95%. That's good news for everyone – the environment included.
