	%X Solid waste management in steel industry is broadly
classified in “4 Rs” i.e. reduce, reuse, recycle and restore the
materials. Reuse and recycling the entire solid waste generated in the
process of steel making is a viable solution in targeting a clean, green
and zero waste technology leading to sustainable development of the
steel industry. Solid waste management has gained importance in
steel industry in view of its uncertainty, volatility and speculation due
to world competitive standards, rising input costs, scarcity of raw
materials and solid waste generated like in other sectors. The
challenges that the steel Industry faces today are the requirement of a
sustainable development by meeting the needs of our present
generation without compromising the ability of future generations.
Technologies are developed not only for gainful utilization of solid
wastes in manufacture of conventional products but also for
conversion of same in to completely new products.
