North America's #1 Recycled Material

Each year, more steel is recycled in the US than paper, plastic, aluminum and glass combined

Life Cycle Thinking

Steel is a major component material for a wide range of market applications and products, such as in the automotive, construction and packaging. Steel has life cycle advantages over competing materials because of its relatively low energy use, high recyclability, conservation of natural resources and the extensive re-use of by-products.
