The release and implementation of the national standard of "Recycled Steel Raw Materials" will play an active role in promoting the recycling of high-quality recycled steel raw materials in the steel industry, energy conservation and emission reduction, green development, and effective use of foreign iron resources, which is of great strategic significance to the steel industry.

First, the new standard will help the steel industry improve its basic industrial capabilities.

"The new standard will maximize the role of international and domestic recycled steel raw materials on the partial substitution of iron ore, adjust the effective supply of international and domestic markets, increase the effective options of steel enterprises, inhibit the use and price increase of iron ore to a certain extent, and reduce the cost of raw materials for enterprises; Promote the structural adjustment of the long and short processes of the steel industry and improve the basic capabilities of the steel industry. Jiang Wei pointed out.

First, it will promote the recycling of scrap steel resources from a strategic height, improve the recycling rate of iron resources, and promote the construction of an ecological civilization that is more harmonious between man and nature.

Second, recycled steel raw materials are the only ferrite charge that can replace iron ore. Compared with the use of iron ore, smelting 1 ton of steel with recycled steel raw materials can save 1.7 tons of concentrate powder, save 350 kg of standard coal, reduce 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, 3 tons of solid waste emissions, and at the same time can greatly reduce the emission of sulfide, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants, which can effectively solve the problems of tightening resource constraints, serious environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation in China, and jointly promote high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment.

Third, it can promote the import of high-quality renewable steel raw material resources, alleviate the pressure of China's steel industry to rely too much on iron ore imports, make full use of the domestic and international markets, and achieve a higher level of opening up.

Fourth, it will strongly support the implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste, strengthen the management of solid waste imports, and promote the construction of ecological civilization.

Fifth, the carbon dioxide emissions of steelmaking using recycled steel raw materials are only 30%~40% of the carbon dioxide emissions of steelmaking using iron ore, which will further alleviate the global greenhouse effect.

The relationship between the national standard of "Recycled Steel Raw Materials" and the current national standard of "Scrap Steel" has become a more concerned issue in the industry after the release of the new standard. in line with national laws and regulations and environmental protection technical requirements, in order to meet the requirements of the high-quality development of China's steel industry. ”

"The new standard applies not only to the processing and handling of domestic recycled steel raw material resources, but also to the import of recycled steel raw material resources that meet the requirements of the international standard." Zhang Longqiang believes that "the release of the national standard of "recycled steel raw materials" is only a phased work to promote the import of recycled steel raw materials, and how to promote the implementation of the standard and ensure that the purchased imported goods can meet the requirements of the national standard will be the next important work of the industry." ”
