The Greener Side of Steel

Steel is invaluable for many reasons. Its strength and durability make it a beneficial material, used worldwide to construct everything from huge bridges to small household appliances. But did you know that steel is also the most sustainable metal on earth?

Steel is North America's most recycled material. According to the Steel Recycling Institute, more steel is recycled than paper, plastic, aluminum, glass and copper combined! The reasoning behind this is that steel in infinitely recyclable – it takes steel to make steel. Scrap is a vital element in forging new steel because it takes more than four times the amount of energy to create new steel from raw materials. Think about it. The steel can that holds the veggies for tonight's dinner could have been recycled from the siding of a ship or the frame of an old car!

Recycling steel saves natural resources that would have been mined and depleted. It's cheaper and better for the environment. Plus, steel has lower CO2 emissions per ton than other metals such as aluminum. It's the smarter choice for sustainable projects.

So go green with Texas Iron and Metal. Buy steel.
