Electric furnace slag: a by-product as an excellent recycled building material
The electric arc furnace slag (EAF slag) produced during the manufacture of unalloyed and low-alloy steel is very similar to the mineral concrete waste of concrete demolition in regard to their chemical and construction properties. As a granulated material, it is of particular interest for use in subbases and bases for road beds or for base plates.
The use of EAF slag as a recycled building material is explicitly permitted but is subject to certain criteria. In Switzerland, its use is governed by the Swiss "Ordinance for the Avoidance and Disposal of Waste."
Products made of EAF aggregate can be purchased directly from us or from the company PK Bau AG.
