In line with its environmental commitments, Eramet, through its subsidiary Société Le Nickel (SLN), is an active player of the circular economy through its use of ferronickel slag, known as “SLAND.” Generated by the Doniambo plant in New Caledonia, this by-product can replace natural sand in many applications such as the production of concrete, in land reclamation and for sandblasting. When crushed, it can partially replace cement thanks to its binding properties. Eramet produces almost 2 million tons of SLAND per year.
