As our name Luhlaza emanates from sustainability and going green, Steel used by Luhlaza is 100% recyclable and is indeed the most recycled material on the planet. We pride ourselves in ensuring that every new steel product contains recycled steel and in some products the recycled rate is as high as 70%. Luhlaza procures and processes its own steel scrap requirements.
Luhlaza is mindful of the impact of global warming and the pressing need to conserve finite resources. Luhlaza maintains control of the resources it uses to manufacture its range of steel products and consumables by setting targets for natural resource consumption.
Energy consumption and water use per tonne of steel produced are being reduced where possible throughout every production process. As part of its Environmental Management system, Luhlaza aims to continuously improve its operations to reduce environmental impacts. Most of Luhlaza’s operations are ISO 14001 compliant.
Luhlaza is investigating in a number of environmental projects to reduce the impacts from its activities e.g. we have embarked on studies and projects which looks at generating electricity from the off-gases from the kiln, and the waste recycling project that looks at recycling slag that is generated at the melt shops.
Luhlaza is in the process of implementing an environmental stakeholder forum meeting will be held twice annually. Stakeholders who will be invited will include local residents, authorities and Councilors.
Our enormous effort towards greening our processes has benefited our young environmental management system so greatly that we obtained no non-conformances during our first surveillance audit with our certification body
