Waste Costing for a Korean Steel Producer

Abstract

As steel-making has substantial environmental impacts through its use of large amounts of energy and materials, both local and global pressures to reduce this impact will have major implications for the steel industry over the next decade. The degree and costs of the industrial response will vary depending on the degree of environmental severity associated with steel manufacturing at a given location, with local and national regulations, and with local attitudes towards pollution. Pollution from steel-making depends mainly on the age of the plant, the pollution control system, and the type of process used.
