Circular economy
Steel is a permanent material that can be infinitely recycled without any loss of quality.
Once melted down, steel is recycled into new steel, to be used for cars, trains, buildings, packaging or thousands of other applications.
The steelmaking process needs scrap metal, so every steel plant is also a recycling plant and every steel product has guaranteed recycled content.
Worldsteel estimates that 75% of steel products ever made are still in use today.
