We Build Steel... We Build Homes for Smart People.

Why Steel?
There is more steel recycled in North America each year
than aluminum, plastic and glass combined. Each year, steel recycling
saves the energy equivalent to electrically powering about 1/5 of the
households in the USA for one year. Steel recycling programs reduce the
solid waste stream resulting in saved landfills space and conservation
of natural resources. In 1999, steel plates and beams used in
construction were recycled at a rate of 95% also rebar and other steel
construction material posted a recycling rate of 45%. 14.2 million cars
were recycled in 1999 (enough to circle earth 1-3/4 times) and every ton
saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of
limestone. |
