What we deliver on
Our commitment to the planet
At Bisalloy Steels, we care about our impact on the environment.
We take steps to ensure our environmental footprint is responsibly reduced. To do this, we:
- harvest rainwater for our quenching processes
- use waste furnace gasses to preheat plates entering our heat treatment process
- use high efficiency lighting
- recycle waste
- actively promote the limitless recycling opportunity of our products throughout their lifecycle
We continually measure the environmental performance of our plant. Since 2009, we have regularly reported our energy consumption and carbon emissions to the Clean Energy Regulator.
Carbon Neutral by 2030
With continuous research & development of sustainable improvements to our BISALLOY® steel production line, coupled with an understanding of our carbon footprint, energy consumption & waste generation through constant reporting, Bisalloy has developed a program to see us commit to being carbon-neutral at our Australian operations by 2030.
Although we are setting longer-term goals for net zero, and making meaningful, responsible change by exploring opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint, we continue to focus on daily improvements and celebrate the areas in which we can make an immediate impact to motivate us to build a more sustainable, future-focused business.

Recyclable Material
A Circular Economy
Recycling steel is a shining example of the circular economy in action, a testament to the power of sustainable practices that reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize environmental impact. Steel, known for its exceptional durability and strength, becomes even more remarkable when viewed through the lens of its potential for use and recycling.
The continuous reuse, recycling and remanufacturing of BISALLOY® steel can have profound sustainability benefits once compared to the energy-intense process of producing steel from raw material. Furthermore, the advanced, unique heat-treatment process of Bisalloy’s quenched & tempered steel plate sees a remarkable enhancement of desired mechanical properties such as strength, ductility and hardness. These properties can significantly increase the lifecycle of equipment, components and the overall lifespan of fixed & mobile plant machinery.
Our manufacturing process
How BISALLOY® Steel is made – The Quenching & Tempering Process.
Improving strength-to-weight ratios
to improve fuel efficiency and energy consumption
The quenching & tempering process that BISASLLOY® steel undertakes sees a significant reduction of the overall amount of material required to meet specific strength specifications, resulting in weight savings that can lead to numerous sustainable benefits for vehicles, equipment, fixed and mobile plant and other industrial machinery typically seen to consume a large amount of energy and resources in its construction & lifecycle.
The connection between lighter steel, lighter vehicles & increased fuel efficiency is undeniable. With every tonne of steel shed from the weight of a structure or vehicle, without a loss in strength or structural integrity, we can see improvements in fuel efficiency, load-carrying capacities & ultimately, a reduction in CO₂ emitted through the manufacture of the product and its life on the field.
