Spirafix AU

Covers the mining of iron ore, coal (for coke), and other materials (e.g., limestone) needed for steel production.

Encompasses primary steelmaking (e.g., via blast furnaces using iron ore) and secondary steel -making (e.g., electric arc furnaces using recycled scrap). Includes refining, alloying and forming into usable shapes.

Involves supplying raw steel to manufacturers through supply chains. Includes logistics, storage, and distribution to businesses producing components or final products.

Covers the fabrication of steel into products, including processes like forging, machining, heat treatment, Hot and cold forming, laser profiling, quenching/tempering and coating (e.g., galvanizing & sherardising). Emphasizes design for durability, recyclability, and minimal material waste.

Involves selling finished products to both consumer and commercial sectors for a variety of uses, all with the intention of providing a commercially viable product whilst minimizing the environmental footprint of delivering a solution.

Encompasses the use phase of products by consumers and businesses, focusing on durability and maintenance to extend product life. Includes strategies like repair or refurbishment to prolong usability.

Focuses on the overuse of Spirafix ground anchor products with the main aim of reducing the C0²e footprint of solution using a Spirafix ground anchor as replacement for both temporary and permanent solutions as opposed to non-renewable or heavier environmental costs for alternative solutions to be implemented. (concrete, heavy goods transportation, etc).

Focuses on designing products for easy disassembly and recyclability, using data from end-of-life processes to improve future production.

Covers the collection of used or discarded steel products through take-back programs, scrap yards, or municipal recycling systems. Includes sorting and processing to separate steel from other materials.

Involves recycling scrap steel back into steel production via electric arc furnaces, closing the loop. Includes quality control to ensure recycled steel meets standards and reintegration into the supply chain.
