"Steeldate, the first dating platform for the steel industry, is now online. Steeldate operates like other dating apps and platforms: it matches and brings together those who belong together. The first date, in this case, isn't a cautious introduction, but after a match, it goes straight to the smelting process: individual orders from steel processors are smelted using leftover materials from other steel processors. Following the principles of the shared economy, orders and materials are exchanged. It's less about each for themselves and more about everyone together. Why?

The benefits are clear. Surfaces can be used much more efficiently, and each company can reduce its scrap percentage. This allows for a collective reduction in CO2 emissions. Green steel or not, utilizing is always better than recycling, as even creating renewable energy sources involves CO2 emissions. Additionally, cost-effective storage is possible, meaning fewer expenses and fewer economic risks. Furthermore, more efficient material utilization is achievable. Imagine this: you smelt a round piece into a rectangle – under certain circumstances, another company might have the perfect round piece for your needs!

You can specify what counts when there's a match: shorter shipping distances, higher order turnover, high capacity utilization, or shorter smelting distances – you decide!

How does Steeldate work? It's quite simple. Join, list materials or orders. The matching service starts automatically and provides within seconds which orders fit with which materials. Feel free to reach out for a first introduction at info@steeldate.com.
