It takes nerves of steel to handle aggressive driving on today's highways. Because existing steel is needed to make new steel, you are buying a recycled product when you buy steel.
Steel is the environmental leader among automotive materials.
Virtually 100 percent of the steel used in an automobile can be recycled. And recycled steel is used to make more cars, as well as bridges, food cans, construction beams and other steel products. Recycling steel saves energy. The steel industry annually saves the equivalent energy to power about 18 million households for a year. Recycling steel also saves our precious natural resources.
