Our innovations at a glance

Save landfill costs while creating a positive environmental impact!

We at RHI Magnesita have developed solutions customizable to consumers’ conditions and volumes, committed to a sustainable business model: The Circular Economy Model


The circular economy approach gives endless possibilities to create a thriving economy. After all, recycling solutions mean saving CO2 emissions and avoiding the unnecessary disposal of residues while restoring already extracted materials back in the economy.

 

Underpinned by applied R&D innovative technology, we act before used material perishes, from design to keep materials in use for as long as possible to design for recycling. Likewise, we transform waste into secondary raw materials for various applications, including other industries, helping you to have a positive impact on the environment while reducing your operative costs.

Enhance your business through our circular economy solutions 

Our customized solutions include:

  • lining design
  • refractory products
  • installation and dismantling services
  • product performance
  • recycling solutions
  • ongoing support from our sales representatives

Choose between onsite and offsite service

By offering an onsite recycling facility, we enable the recycling of used refractory linings directly at your site by determining the optimal waste to value approach, such as: recovering waste material to produce secondary raw materials and/or returning the refined material to your steelmaking process as additional metallurgical additives instead of going directly to landfill.

We also offer the possibility of an offsite service. In this case we collect your spent material and recycle it in one of our facilities (Austria, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, China and India).
