This study investigates the environmental sustainability of the steel life cycle within a circular economy framework, focusing on resource flow management and the reuse, recycling, and recovery of materials. The analysis reveals significant gaps in product redesign, waste management, and environmental monitoring. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus on the definition of "greening" in steel production. Addressing these gaps is crucial for developing informed policies to transition toward a sustainable and circular steel industry.

Abstract
This study investigates the environmental sustainability of the steel life cycle within a circular economy framework, focusing on resource flow management and the reuse, recycling, and recovery of materials. The analysis reveals significant gaps in product redesign, waste management, and environmental monitoring. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus on the definition of "greening" in steel production. Addressing these gaps is crucial for developing informed policies to transition toward a sustainable and circular steel industry.File in questo prodotto:
