SSAB Teams Up With The Greenbriar Companies, Alter Trading for Steel Recycling Initiative
06/22/2026 - SSAB Americas announced it has teamed up with The Greenbriar Companies and Alter Trading to develop a circular economy project where recycled materials can be used to produce green steel and then return to the supply chain for new steelmaking.
“This effort demonstrates the performance of near-zero-emissions steel in sophisticated industrial applications. The circular economy works best with material supplied at scale, to valuable end-use applications within an existing supply chain,” said Tom Cox, president of SSAB Americas.
The companies said Greenbriar is using SSAB Zero™ steel to produce 50 gondola railcars to be delivered to Alter Trading. After they’re delivered, recycled materials loaded on gondolas will be returned to SSAB to produce new steel.
