Paragraph: 125
The reuse of steel components is not yet common practice in the UK.
Conclusion
The reuse of steel components is not yet common practice in the UK. One of the main barriers to steel reuse is the collection, storage, testing and certification of used steel components. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority are already investing in how to better promote recycling and reuse of steel, alongside long-term investment in decarbonising the primary production of steel.
Government Response Summary
BEIS is continuing progress on providing the sector with support to decarbonise, which includes support provided through the increase of the EII compensation scheme, funding steel projects through programmes such as the Industrial Fuel Switching competition, and the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund.
