Exclusively EAF<\/h3>\n

Steel Dynamics is truly circular, with our steel operations’ exclusive use of electric arc furnace (EAF) technology. EAF technology uses primarily recycled ferrous scrap metal to produce new steel. Our EAF steel mills use recycled ferrous, or steel scrap, as the single-largest raw material input in the production of new finished steel products. In 2024, 82% of the raw materials used in our furnaces to produce steel at our EAF steel mills was recycled ferrous scrap and internally produced iron.<\/p>\n
