Turkey: Harsco and Tosyali Holding, a flat steel and steel pipe producer, have started a joint venture relationship for metal recovery services and slag sales at the Toscelik Osmaniye flat steel plant, a unit owned by Tosyali. The agreement with Tosyali marks Harsco’s first entry into Turkey’s steelmaking sector.
“Since slag disposal is one of the main challenges of the Turkish steel industry, we aim to recycle and recover these slag wastes,” said Tosyali’s board chairman Fuat Tosyali. He added the two companies intend to increase the number of slag disposal units in the country to handle 1.2Mt/yr of slag.
