%X 700,000 tonnes of primary slags are generated each year in the 13 steel plants located in the Basque Country, a small region of 20,664 Km2. Nowadays, as there is not Spanish regulation concerning environmental aspects related to the utilization of wastes, this great amount of waste is being landfilled. In order to solve environmental problems due to this kind of waste management a two years project covering the environmental aspects related to steel slags reutilization as a construction material was carried out. Results derived from the project have lead to a final draft of a Decree about steel slags reutilization as a construction material.
