Green Steel Stainless+ – The future of stainless bar steel is here
95% recycled steel. 60% lower emissions. Under 1 ton of CO₂ per ton produced. Green Steel Stainless+ speaks for itself.
Green Steel Stainless+ is a new type of stainless bar steel that combines high technical performance with significantly reduced environmental impact. With a minimum recycled content of 95% and CO₂ emissions below 1 ton per ton of steel produced, this material sets a new benchmark for industrial CO₂ reduction.
The steel is produced using EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) technology, which enables scrap to be used as the primary raw material. The production process relies on meticulous sorting and treatment of scrap. The result is a reduction in Scope 3 emissions of over 60%, directly contributing to a lower climate footprint from your purchased materials.
All the benefits
But Green Steel Stainless+ isn’t just about sustainability. It also delivers all the technical advantages you know from the UGIMA®-X series:
- 10-20% increase in productivity thanks to improved machinability
- 25-50% longer tool life, reducing wear and costs
- Consistent, high-quality performance that ensures efficient production and fewer deviations
These features make Green Steel Stainless+ the ideal choice for companies looking to optimize both cost-efficiency and climate impact.
Choose responsibly - without compromise
At Damstahl, we are committed to offering solutions that make it easier for you to choose responsibly - without compromising on price, quality, or reliability.
Green Steel Stainless+ is tangible proof that CO₂-reduced materials and high performance can go hand in hand.

FAQ
How is Green Steel Stainless+ produced?
Green Steel Stainless+ is manufactured using EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) technology, which allows scrap to be used as the main raw material. The process involves thorough sorting of scrap, and the steel is made with over 95% recycled content in accordance with ISO 14021 standards. (*Powered by a mix of renewable energy (hydropower) and nuclear energy.)
What is the environmental impact of producing Green Steel Stainless+?
Production helps reduce consumption of natural resources and energy. The use of recycled materials and careful scrap handling has enabled Ugitech to cut Scope 3 emissions by over 60%, with a carbon footprint of approximately 0.97 tCO₂e per ton of steel produced. (EU average: 2.8 tCO₂/t | Global average: 6.1 tCO₂/t)
What is Ugitech’s recycling rate for stainless steel?
In 2023, Ugitech’s average recycling rate was 77.4%. This includes new scrap (internal and production scrap) and old scrap (post-consumer).
What are the main applications of Green Steel Stainless+?
Green Steel Stainless+ is used in construction, automotive, household appliances, as well as pharmaceutical and aerospace technologies.
Which grades are available for Green Steel Stainless+?
Initially produced in grade 4404, Green Steel Stainless+ will also be available in other standard grades such as 4307 and 4305 over time.
