摘要

London—Russian mining and steel company Severstal said April 23 that it has set up a laboratory for recoverable resources research, with a view to reducing its environmental footprint and raising the efficiency of its raw materials processing by reusing products extracted from its own waste. The company said the laboratory will be its first fully dedicated to waste recycling and utilization tasks. The site, worth Rb25 million ($334,000), should help the company achieve its targeted 98.5% waste recycling rate, corresponding to best global practices.
