1、WORLD STEEL IN FIGURES 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS Steel is at the core of a green economy in which economic growth and environmental responsibility exist as a mutually beneficial partnership that serves the entire globe In 2012 the world steel industry produced 1 5 billion tonnes of steel its two key co
2、mponents are iron one of Earth s most abundant elements and recycled steel Once steel is produced it becomes a permanent resource because it is 100 recyclable and has an infinite life cycle such recyclability without loss of properties makes steel unique and valuable The steel industry believes that
3、 sustainable development must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs It is for this reason that life cycle assessment LCA is of vital importance as our section on page 5 illustrates In 2012 world average steel use per capita page
4、17 was 216 9 kilogrammes which is a slight increase on 2011 and represents the steadily increasing global usage of steel over time It touches every aspect of our lives and no wonder no other material has the same unique combination of strength formability and versatility nor is as central to so many
5、 aspects of our daily lives such as transport housing energy agriculture water supply and infrastructure The world steel industry is a key driver of the world s economy and this publication World Steel in Figures 2013 provides the latest update on the global picture worldsteel s Steel Statistical Ye
