How steel reduces carbon footprint?
Do you know how steel recycling is reducing carbon footprints in construction?
Did you know that steel is one of the most sustainable building materials in the world? Yes, thanks to its unique properties, steel can be recycled indefinitely without losing its strength or durability. In fact, nearly 85% of all steel used in construction today is recycled!
Each tonne of scrap recycled saves 1.5 tonnes CO2, 1.4 tonnes of iron ore and 740kg of coal.
Steel is the champion of recyclability because it's magnetic, making it easy to extract and repurpose.
By choosing steel for your next project, you’re not just building a strong, durable building structure—you’re contributing to a greener, more sustainable future
