Outokumpu

When its historic stone bridge was swept away in a storm in December 2015, the town of Pooley Bridge lost part of its identity, as well as a vital road link. The new Pooley Bridge was opened to traffic in October 2020. The bridge was the UK’s first stainless steel road bridge and was built using Outokumpu’s lean duplex grade Forta LDX 2101, As Steel Construction Institute and The Steel Bridge Group outline in their latest review, using this high strength lean duplex grade created a slender bridge with high structural capacity, reducing the need for maintenance, increasing durability against floods, and minimizing visual impact on the surrounding Lake District National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yesterday, sustainability leaders Tuomas Haikka from Kuusakoski, Kati Ihamäki from Fiskars Group, and Petri Mure from Outokumpu discussed the importance of credible information on product lifecycles and circularity for making sustainable choices. 💡 Fun fact! These companies are united in a powerful recycling loop: Fiskars, renowned for iconic design and household brands like the legendary Fiskars scissors, is a long-standing Finnish manufacturing company. Outokumpu, a global stainless steel company, produces industry-leading recycled content products, reaching up to 98%. Kuusakoski is proud to be the metals recycling partner for both these great companies, creating a highly efficient recycling loop. We supply recycled material to Outokumpu, which then produces recycled stainless steel products for Fiskars, and we recycle Fiskars’ leftover materials from production. Key takeaways from the discussion: 🌱 Ensure end-of-life products enter the recycling system. Efficiency means little if items like mobile phones stay in drawers. ♻️ Develop and optimize recycling technologies for complex products. New items, such as cars, should be designed for recycling from the start. 💶 Consider lifecycle costs of products, not just the purchase price. Reliable, comparable information is essential, and Kuusakoski offers externally verified lifecycle calculations to help businesses with that. Insightful conversations like these guide us toward a more sustainable future, one step at a time! Thank you to the panelists, Kirsi Alm-Siira for hosting, and everyone who attended!

In a seismic shift in sustainability, Outokumpu Circle Green® is now literally supporting the protection of historic buildings. EDIL CAM® Sistemi Srl's innovative anti-seismic system "stitches" the building's masonry together using strips of stainless steel. This prevents historical buildings from collapsing, even under severe seismic shocks. Read more here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dnKQg4GN
