In an official press release, the company said, “Cascade has created some of the lowest carbon emission steel products in the world through electric arc furnace technology powered by primarily carbon-free hydroelectricity.”
 
According to Schnitzer, the product line further reduces Scope 1 and 2 emissions through a carbon offset and renewable energy credit purchase program.
 
“We believe that steel is an essential building block of the low-carbon future in the United States and around the world,” said Judodine Nichols, chief sustainability officer at Schnitzer. “By offering a net-zero carbon solution, we are working to further our sustainability goals which are aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and support our customers as they advance climate commitments across multiple industries.”
