Tata Steel UK has announced its support for Circularity in Practice, an initiative sponsored by His Majesty the King, to accelerate the adoption of circular economy practices.
The initiative brings together organisations from different parts of the economy to encourage practical circular approaches, such as reuse, remanufacturing and high-quality recycling.
Rajesh Nair, CEO of Tata Steel UK said: “Tata Steel UK is proud to support His Majesty The King’s Circularity in Practice initiative as we begin a transformative new chapter in steelmaking.
“Our transition to electric arc furnace steelmaking will place the recycling of steel at the heart of our operations, enabling us to produce high-quality, UK-made steel in a more circular and sustainable way.
“By working closely with our supply chains, we will reduce waste, use resources more intelligently and support the strength and resilience of the UK manufacturing sector.”
As a founding signatory, Tata Steel UK will work with partners across UK industry to help embed circular thinking into decision-making and demonstrate how circular solutions can be applied at scale.
The initiative will initially be supported by a taskforce of organisations that will seek to promote practical actions and share lessons across the industry.
