Building a requires more than recycling. It requires an integrated network that can recover, process, and return valuable materials to industry.

Across Europe, MIRECO plays a central role in making this possible. Through its network of recycling sites, MIRECO helps to transform spent refractory materials into regional and valuable circular raw materials for various applications, supporting more supply chains and a more resource-efficient refractory industry.

At the heart of this approach is the 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 philosophy: working together with customers to give spent refractory materials a new lease of life and bring them back into the supply and value chain as refractory and metallurgical raw materials. By keeping valuable resources in circulation and avoiding landfill, 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 turns closed-loop recycling into a driver of responsible resource use and greater security of supply.

Because circularity doesn’t end with material recovery. It continues by giving materials a second life and keeping them in the loop.

Every kilogram of steel recovered matters.

Residual steel left in the ladle after tapping affects metal yield, productivity, and operating costs. Improving steel recovery without compromising process stability remains an important challenge in secondary refining.

Our latest Bulletin article explores how RHI Magnesita's patented IBOS (Improved Bottom Optimised Solution) combines CFD-optimised ladle bottom design with precast refractory technology to improve steel drainage efficiency while simplifying installation.

Industrial validation at Brazilian steel plants demonstrated that IBOS can reduce metallic losses and improve metal yield through enhanced liquid steel drainage efficiency. The study also highlights faster installation, reduced manual handling, and lower carbon consumption compared with conventional refractory bottoms.

🎥 Watch the teaser for the key insights.

We delivered a solid earnings improvement despite continued softness across refractory markets and a material foreign exchange headwind.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Adjusted EBITA increased by 17% to €165 million, or by 42% at constant currency
• Strong performance from our Steel business, particularly in North America and India
• Continued progress across pricing, network optimisation and administrative cost measures
• Continued focus on cash generation and deleveraging, with leverage expected to reduce towards 2.6x by year-end

We remain confident in stronger operational and financial going forward, underpinned by continued operational improvement, a firm order book in and , and a clear focus on cash flow generation and deleveraging.

Green steel is built on thousands of operational decisions made every day. Slag chemistry, refractory management, and metallurgical additives all influence process efficiency, refractory consumption, and total cost of ownership.

Our latest article explores how RHI Magnesita and MIRECO combine the approach, metallurgical additives, and digital slag engineering to help steel plants optimise metallurgical performance while reducing resource consumption.

Industrial case studies in EAF, BOF, and ladle furnace operations demonstrate measurable benefits, including lower refractory consumption, improved slag performance, cost savings, and CO₂ reductions supported by e-tech slag modelling tools.

Some of football’s biggest moments are celebrated with a raised 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀.

Whether in restaurants, hotels, at home or at fan gatherings around the world, glass shapes the experience surrounding the game.

But transforming raw materials into glass requires furnaces operating at extreme temperatures, and refractories are essential to make those conditions possible.
