Did you know? Recycling just one tonne of steel saves enough energy to power four homes for an entire year. Steel recycling cuts energy use by 74%, conserves 90% of raw materials, and reduces water use by 40%. It also dramatically lowers pollution, with 76% less water pollution, 86% fewer air pollutants, and 97% less mining waste.
