Celebrating Steel, The Most Recycled Material On Earth, On America
Recycles Day, Nov. 15, 2012
DENTON, Texas, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Thursday, November 15, 2012 will be the
15th annual America Recycles Day. This is a
nationally recognized day for Americans to pledge to pitch in and
do their part to save the country's natural resources through
recycling. A program of Keep America Beautiful, America
Recycles Day promotes activities to boost recycling awareness and
participation across the U.S.
Steel is the most recycled material in the world.
According to the Green Team, the steel industry recycles 19
billion steel cans each year— about 600 cans per second.
Eighty million tons of steel are recycled annually in North America.
Steel is economical to recycle because its magnetic qualities
make it easy to separate from the solid waste stream. Steel
does not lose any of its inherent qualities of strength, regardless
of how many times it is recycled. Metals like steel are
always welcomed by recyclers.
Recycled steel is a very environmentally-friendly construction
material. Prefabricated metal building systems like those
from RHINO Steel Building Systems of Denton, Texas, are manufactured to take full
advantage of the strength of steel, so fewer building pieces are
needed. The building components are cut, welded, and drilled
at the factory to reduce waste at the job site. If there is
any steel left at the end of the project, it can be sold as scrap
and recycled again.
Steel buildings can last decades longer than other building
materials. At the end of a steel building's usefulness, the
steel framing can be recycled and reused again, instead of ending
up in a landfill.
RHINO's steel framing contains an average 89% recycled
material.
