5 insights into the CO₂-reduced process chain and circular economy at voestalpine Wire Technology

2025-08-19 | 

With our Roadmap 2 Zero initiative, we are sending a strong signal for a sustainable industry. Our company proves that a CO₂-reduced process chain and a functioning circular economy are not only possible, but already a reality. Learn more about our measures.

1. Roadmap 2 Zero - clear plan for climate neutrality

With Roadmap 2 Zero, voestalpine Wire Technology is pursuing a structured path to decarbonization:

  • Saving energy,
  • increase material efficiency,
  • generate and use green energy

These are the key levers on the path to net zero emissions by 2040 (Scope 1+2) and by 2050 (Scope 3).

2. Green energy supply & energy efficiency

Renewable energy sources are gradually being established in production of our wire products. In combination with targeted measures to increase efficiency, this will make a significant contribution to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

3. Use of our CO₂-reduced pre-materials

The use of CO₂-reduced steel pre-materials ensures significantly lower emissions throughout the entire process chain. We work closely together with our suppliers to ensure end-to-end sustainability.

4. Circular economy starts with the material

For us, the steel scrap is not waste, but a valuable raw material. In steel production, our suppliers are increasingly relying on high-quality recycled material - a key contribution to save resources and reduce CO₂ emissions. This forms the basis of a sustainable, circular process chain.

5. Making CO₂ reduction measurable

We are working on product-related CO₂ balancing to provide our customers with precise climate data for each wire product - transparent, comparable and certified. Site-specific CO₂ balances are already available.
