| Third quarter stainless steel production surprisingly strong |
| Brussels, 17 January 2012. Preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) show that worldwide stainless steel crude steel production increased by 3.6% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the corresponding period of 2010. Total production for the first three quarters of 2011 was an accumulated 24.2 million metric tons (mmt). Production reached 7.7 mmt in the third quarter – a new all-time-high for a third quarter. However, there are big differences in the performance of the individual regions. |

| Alltimehigh quarter 3 stainless steel production |
| Brussels, 17 January 2010 - Preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) show that the world-wide stainless steel crude steel production has increased after the first nine months of 2010 by 29% compared to the same period of 2009. Total production for the first nine months of 2010 was 23 million metric tons (mmt). All major regions showed significantly higher production volumes in the reported period. |

| Review on toxicity of stainless steel |
| This study from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) reviews available in vitro and in vivo data, including the metal release data, conducted on stainless steel in order to assess the toxicological relevance of this data to human health, to draw conclusions about the toxicity of stainless steel, and to give recommendations for the classification and labelling of stainless steel according to GHS. Special interest is taken in toxic endpoints like sensitization, respiratory tract toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. The hypothesis of the study has been that the toxicity of stainless steels cannot to be predicted on the basis of the bulk content of individual elements in stainless steel, but, rather, on the basis of the metal release from the stainless steel matrix. |

| Stainless steel in sewage treatment plants |
| Water – the blue gold of the blue planet, used in so many ways: for agriculture, for the processing and preparation of food and beverages, for heating and cooling, for energy generation, and for the production of a wide spectrum of industrial and consumer goods. About 70% of the world’s surface is covered with water, but less than 3% of it is fresh water, making it a very precious commodity. The use of water produces wastewater. Like any other waste products, wastewater is a valuable, sustainable resource and should be treated appropriately. |

| Stainless production rises in first half of 2011 but results are mixed |
| Brussels, 30 September 2011 - Preliminary figures released by the International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF) show that stainless steel crude steel production increased in the first half of 2011 by 3.8% compared to the same period of 2010. Total production for the first six months of 2011 was 16.4 million metric tons (mmt), a new all-time high. However, the increase in production was restricted to China and the Central and Eastern Europe region, compensating for losses in other major areas. |

| New Stainless Steel LCI data available |
| Stainless steel is highly durable material used in many qualified applications. Like all materials, its production and use affect the environment in many different ways. Assessing the overall environmental impact of products requires an integrated approach that considers the product over its entire life cycle – Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) is one of the phases of LCA. LCI data quantify the material, energy and emissions associated with a functional system (e.g. the manufacture of 1kg of hot rolled coil). |

| Desalination in Stainless Steel |
| Successful desalination requires a material that can resist the aggressive corrosion caused by seawater and brine. Utilising stainless steel to create fresh water further increases the sustainability profile of the desalination industry. The durability and minimal maintenance requirements of stainless make it a good choice economically. The high-level of recycled content and 100% recyclability at the end of its life are the cornerstones of stainless steel’s environmental profile. High performance stainless steels, including duplex grades, are the perfect choice for desalination. |
