Sustainable Waste Solutions for SMEs in Steel and Coal Coking Industries

Introduction: Tackling the Growing Challenge of Industrial Solid Waste  

The steel and coal coking industries are among the largest generators of industrial solid waste globally. As the demand for environmentally responsible practices continues to rise—alongside increasingly strict environmental regulations—these industries face mounting pressure to reduce their ecological footprint.

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), managing this waste presents a unique set of challenges. Limited technical capabilities, financial constraints, and outdated infrastructure make it difficult for SMEs to adopt effective and compliant waste management strategies.

Key Challenges Faced by SMEs in Waste Management

1. Technical Limitations  

SMEs frequently struggle with low briquetting efficiency, often due to improper binder selection or suboptimal particle size distribution. High concentrations of harmful elements such as Zinc in dust and ash hinder effective metal reduction. Outdated equipment fails to meet modern emission standards, resulting in non-compliance. These limitations not only reduce operational efficiency but also increase the cost and complexity of waste treatment.

2. Financial and Operational Barriers  

Traditional waste treatment systems, such as rotary hearth furnaces (RHFs), involve substantial upfront investments—often reaching millions of dollars. SMEs typically lack the financial flexibility to support such investments. Further challenges include the complexity of advanced processes, like dezincification, which require highly skilled technicians; production delays due to lengthy installation periods and frequent maintenance needs; and operational disruptions, which can lead to lost revenue and decreased competitiveness.

3. Increasing Regulatory Pressure  

Governments around the world are enforcing tighter regulations on industrial emissions and waste disposal. For example, Vietnam’s goal to modernize its steel industry by 2030 includes specific requirements for sustainable development. Failure to comply with these evolving regulations can result in fines, penalties, landfill bans, carbon taxes, and significant reputational damage.
