Read MoreThe steel industry in North America has been recycling steel scrap for more than 150 years. The steel industry needs scrap to produce new steel, which ensures that all steel products contain anywhere from 25 percent up to 100 percent recycled content. It also is cheaper to recycle steel than it is to mine ore to manufacture new steel.

Read MoreAbout EAF Slag. EAF slag is a rock-like material generated during the steel-making process. Approximately 130 facilities across the United States generate EAF slag. EAF slag is used as an alternative to rock fragments, both in encapsulated uses (e.g., contained in concrete) and unencapsulated uses (e.g., loose ground cover material).

Read MoreEAF slag has a bulk density 4.6 percent higher than natural coarse aggregate, which is likewise the case with EOF steel slag . Steel slag has a denser composition than natural coarse aggregate, with a density difference of 4% [ 34 ], due to high iron content [ 39 ].
Read MoreDuring steel production, the impurities in the hot metal react with the fluxes forming the steel slag.
