BUY RECYCLED WITH RECYCLABLE STEEL
Steel - the Natural Choice for Buying Recycled

When you buy steel, you buy recycled.

Steel is a unique material because it always contains recycled steel. Each year, millions of tons of pre- and post-consumer steel products, including used steel cans, appliances, automobiles and construction materials, are recycled by steel mills into every ton of new steel produced. In fact, with the exception of the earliest steelmaking methods, recycling has always been an integral part of the steelmaking process.

What's more, all new steel products made from recycled steel can be recycled again at the end of their useful lives. Used steel cans are recycled into part of a guard rail, which may one day be recycled into an appliance. And an infrastructure of ferrous scrap processors exists to prepare all types of steel products for recycling. Processors prepare and ship steel scrap to steel mills and foundries for remelting into new steel.
