Considering to join Inner Circle? Here is everything you need to know.

Every piece of scrap has a part to play in a more sustainable future.
It is in our hands to give it the opportunity.

The Inner Circle initiative:

• Strengthens the European circular economy
• Gives more visibility to the product life cycle and the supply chain
• Helps customers find the right suppliers and to visibly act for a more sustainable circular economy

Why?

Circularity is needed for sustainable stainless steel production. The Inner Circle initiative promotes the recycling of steel scrap which contributes to a closed loop economy. This will help Outokumpu and its partners to reach sustainability goals and will benefit the environment. 

How?

We are connecting our customers to scrap suppliers to create a closed loop for steel scrap. We will also verify, through open and objective criteria, the involved scrap suppliers to ensure a sustainable supply chain. By enabling partners to actively participate in the circular economy, we can ensure an efficient, visible and sustainable supply chain for scrap that will benefit the production of sustainable stainless steel.
