The paper presents possible schemes for waste management in the metallurgical industry, namely pipe manufacturing from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Solutions for recycling non-dimensional pipe segments (trims) formed at various stages of production during metal forming are presented and their efficiency in comparison with existing technologies was evaluated. The energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of the steel pipe manufacturing process were estimated for a large manufacturing plant as a part of an energy audit. It was found that the average trim is approximately 18% of the volume of the initial pipe billet. The trim amount can be estimated as 450,000 tons per year for the considered plant. The classical waste management solution which is the remelting of the trim entails 180,000 tons of CO2 per year. The paper presents two waste management schemes which allow to avoid a large share of CO2 emissions. For trims of steel pipes, recycling technology provides for the process of precipitation trimming and its further longitudinal rolling to obtain a steel strip. The two options are possible: trimming the edges before or after rolling. A recycling scheme has been proposed for trims of copper pipes, which makes it possible to obtain a bimetallic copper-steel-copper strip. The strip can be used in building construction, in electrical installations and electric power systems, in the construction of thermal insulation, in drainage systems, and in underground utilities. Computer modeling by the finite element method for the developed technologies has been performed in order to ensure the possibility of their implementation. Thus, the work proposes technologies that allow to obtaining of new types of products from waste, excluding remelting, while increasing the metal utilization factor and effectively reducing the harmful effects on the environment.
