At Phoenix Metals, we are developing exactly such a solution which transforms steel slag into high-value, safe products for construction and energy storage—proving that circularity and safety can go hand in hand. Our process obtains a carbon negative footprint, avoiding the use of high temperatures, organic solvents and NOx emissions.

This pause is not just a challenge for the sector, but also an opportunity to innovate. We’re ready to lead that transition.

  • Clean chemistry
  • Without emissions
  • Ready to scale

Building a safe and sustainable way to utilize steel slag.

We are co-funded by the European Union’s Just Transition Fund.
