"Metinvest" or "The Group" has signed a letter of commitment to participate in the project.

The research will be conducted by an international consortium of industrial companies and research institutes. It will focus on the recovery of mineral and metallic products from steelmaking dust and slag for reuse in production, as well as the impact of different concentrations of recycled products on the quality of the final product. It will also explore methods for briquetting residues from gas cleaning in steel production.

As part of this research, through the Metinvest Polytechnic metals and mining university, the Group plans to participate in the development and testing of new technologies and methods to assess their potential for commercial application in order to recycle waste instead of disposing of it.

K1-MET, as the consortium leader, intends to apply for project funding from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG). The research itself is scheduled to take place between 2023 and 2027.
