Harsco Environmental, a division of Enviri Corporation has opened its first SteelPhalt plant outside the UK in Murga, Basque Country, Spain. The Rotherham-based business, which specialises in sustainable asphalt solutions, will officially launch the facility on 19 March 2025.
The plant is designed to process over 195,000 tonnes of slag annually, producing more than 200,000 tonnes of sustainable asphalt for regional roads. By repurposing steel industry byproducts, it aligns with the Basque Country’s 2030 environmental and circular economy goals, reducing the carbon footprint of road construction materials by up to 50%.
This expansion marks SteelPhalt’s entry into the European asphalt market beyond the UK, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable infrastructure. Harsco Environmental and Enviri continue to focus on global growth and environmental innovation, with the new plant playing a key role in advancing circular economy initiatives.
