The Answer is to Start With "Us"
Iraeta holds multiple certifications in carbon footprint and greenhouse gas accounting, including ISO 14067 and ISO 14064. The majority of our raw materials are sourced from our own short-process steel plants, which in turn utilize recycled scrap steel recovered from our manufacturing processes – all verified by an ISO 14021 Declaration of Conformity. This closed-loop sustainable model ensures that choosing our products significantly reduces your product's overall carbon footprint.

100% Recycling, Changing Scrap Steel into Fine Steel
In the forging industry, significant quantities of industrial scrap steel including iron filings and residual materials are generated. At Iraeta, we reclaim such scrap steel through our short-process steelmaking operations, transforming it back into high-quality raw material. This creates a perpetual and closed-loop production cycle with near-infinite recyclability.
Short-process Steelmaking Can Reduce Carbon Emissions by 80%
According to calculations, long-process steelmaking will emit about 1.8-2 tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of steel manufactured. Conversion to short-process steelmaking can reduce this figure to 0.4-0.6 tons of carbon dioxide. Using Iraeta's products, you can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%.
