SUSTAINABILITY

We have an obligation to operate with sustainable practices and are committed to improving the environment through recycling and creating a clean and safe place for our colleagues to work.  We value sustainable and renewable solutions to create a greener tomorrow. 

THE IMPORTANCE OF RECYCLING

Metals are recycled at a surprisingly low rate throughout the world. In fact, one report published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) claims less than a third of metals have an end-of-life recycling rate above 50 percent.  We are working to grow scrap metal recycling;  metal recycling conserves natural resources, saves energy, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycling just one ton of steel saves 2,500 lbs. of iron ore, 120 lbs. of limestone, and 14,000 lbs. of coal. Recycling one ton of aluminum has a similar effect – saving more than a dozen megawatt hours worth of electricity.  It’s estimated if more steel was recycled, enough energy would be conserved to power 18 million homes in the U.S. for a year.

WE CARE ABOUT THE EARTH

We care about our planet, our workers, and our communities, which is why we are committed to sustainable practices and reducing our energy output.
