Abstract

Construction sector is the major user of Steel, and recyclingis very important for the sector itself and also for the Steelindustry, as a secondary raw material.
Recycling demonstrations of three building components (steelsandwich panels with polyurethane foam-steel compositestructures made of beams, profiled sheeting and reinforcementbars-steel profiles combined with plasterboard partitions)have shown that these steel components are easy to separateand produce a high quality scrap that ensure the profitabilityof this end-of-life treatment.
