An important problem associated with the production of steel products is the need to ensure adequate protection of the environment. Throughout the technological foundry formed about 90 types of waste, while a significant number of them belongs to a group of hazardous waste. Resulting in the production system have a steel mill waste utility value to justify the economic and ecological use, not only in the steel sector but also in other sectors of the economy. There is a need to increase activities related to environmental waste management from manufacture of steel, particularly those whose development is one way of storage. The paper presents the concept of reverse logistics in the specific example of a steel mill a full production cycle and the overall costs generated within the waste management system of a full production cycle steel mill.
