Annual Report 2010 - Outokumpu

64
recovery of production volumes towards pre-2009 volumes enabling us to capitalise on the investments
results.
Materials efficiency: Reduction of waste to landfill per tonne of stainless steel produced was achieved. This
was mainly due to improved processes in slag handling enabling a situation where no slag was landfilled at
Tornio; instead, all slag was utilised or stored for future utilisation.
Goals for 2011
No significant environmental incidents.
Climate change: Reduction of emissions in line with Outokumpu's long-term target of achieving a 20%
reduction in direct and indirect CO 2 emissions by 2020.
Energy efficiency: A further reduction of 1% in energy consumption per tonne of stainless steel processed
(with 2007–2009 as the base period).
Materials efficiency: Further reduction in waste to landfill per tonne of stainless steel produced.
Site-specific targets
Goals for 2010
Sheffield melt shop, the UK, water protection: To reduce water consumption by 5% compared to usage in
2007.
Tornio Works, Finland, waste management: Produce steel slag products amounting to 32% of total slag
production.
Degerfors, Sweden (hot rolling): Waste to landfill target 2 kg per tonne.
Tornio Works, air protection: Achieve usage level of dust-reduction units to more than 98% per month.
Sheffield melt shop, soil protection: Complete hydrological assessment for the Tinsley Park landfill.
Kemi mine, Finland, use of materials: Reuse 250 000 tonnes of lumpy rock and side rock from the Kemi
concentrating plant to the underground mine.
Richburg Bar plant, the US, SC: Reduction of hydraulic oil consumption by 50%.
Avesta, Sweden, energy efficiency: Reduction of specific energy consumption by 3%.
Management systems: Integrated Management System Manual to be published and IMS implementation to
start from the business units Tornio Works and tubular products. IMS internal audit system starts to operate.
