XCarb® recycled and renewably produced

ArcelorMittal’s low carbon emissions steel, sold under the brand XCarb® recycled and renewably produced, applies to products made via the Electric Arc Furnace route using high levels of scrap steel and 100% renewable energy.

By using high levels of scrap steel and renewable electricity, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced products have an extremely low CO2 footprint that can be as low as approximately 300kg of CO2 per tonne of finished steel when the metallics are 100% scrap. The electricity used in the steelmaking process is independently verified through the European Guarantee of Origin system, certifying that the electricity comes from renewable sources.

Low emission steel fibres with high potential

The ICTA jury awarded ArcelorMittal WireSolutions with the 'Green award' special prize on 18 April 2024 in recognition of ArcelorMittal’s commitment to decarbonisation through the development of its XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel fibres. ArcelorMittal’s low carbon emissions steel fibres have been developped for concrete reinforcement in industrial flooring, precasting, tunnelling, and structural elements, and have recently become available in the Italian market.

The award was presented to Alessandra Tonti, WireSolutions' sales manager in Italy for steel fibres. This award confirms the recent development of WireSolutions, both in the Italian market and in the field of low carbon emissions steel. While this was the fifth year of the ICTA awards, this year was the first in which WireSolutions decided to participate in Italy, and it was a success! It shows the potential of the Italian market for ArcelorMittal’s XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel fibres.
