Scrap Metal
Recycling one ton of steel saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone—while using 74% less energy compared to producing new steel from raw materials.
Lower Carbon Emissions
Recycling reduces energy consumption and emissions, helping to combat climate change.
Cleaner Ecosystems
Diverting scrap metal from landfills prevents toxic runoff and protects soil and water quality.
