Steel Life Cycle

Pacific Steel Group is extremely proud to be one of New Zealand's largest recyclers. Below is the Steel Life Cycle that our company operates. Steel is one of those materials that truly makes sense to recycle.

Recycled Steel can be made by using as little as 25% of the energy it takes to make virgin steel and that doesn't take into account the savings in terms of mining, transportation, landfill and greenhouse gas emissions.

The American Institute of Architects Environmental Resource Guide says that each tonne of recycled steel saves 1100 kg of iron ore, 600 kg of coal and 50 kg of limestone. The AIA also states that every kilogram of steel produced from recycled sources rather than raw materials, saves 12.5 MJ of energy, 86% less emissions to air are produced; 40% less water is used; and 97% less mining waste is created.

Going Head to Head in The Fight for a Better Hood

Pacific Steel¹s Best Neighbourhood initiative is underway with a total of $18,000 worth of prizes up for grabs. The competition has three parts; Best Sustained Project for those that have previously entered or won Best Neighbourhood; Best Neighbourhood, the original competition where the four 'neighbourhoods' at Pacific Steel compete for the safest, cleanest work area; and a new 5S Project category where teams of 4 to 8 people will compete based on the 5 S's of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain.

Farewell To An Old Friend

Sunday 17 August 2008 saw our old friend ‘Big Red’ - the red locomotive DF-1501 leave Pacific Steel. Resident on site since 1975, NZ’s first diesel electric locomotive has stood guardian near our main gate and has become a firm icon of the steel industry and the local community alike. Although popular with taggers and the scene of some nefarious night-time activities, the bulk of DF-1501 has endured over the years with a little assistance from Pacific Steel.
