the Role of Steel in a Sustainable Future

Steel has been a crucial component of our modern world, forming the backbone of our buildings and bridges and powering industries around the globe. Our world faces mounting pressure to reduce our carbon footprint and embrace sustainability; the steel industry plays a crucial role, as steel can help build a sustainable future.

According to the American institute of steel construction (AISC) 

“Steel is 100 percent recyclable, which means it can be recycled into the same material of the same quality again and again. When you buy steel, you are buying recycled”

Steel can be easily reused and recycled. How can you recycle steel? Here are a few ways you can save some money and the environment!

• Do you have a broken appliance or equipment? The parts from one appliance can be saved or sold for parts to fix another! Alternatively, take your old appliance to a steel recycling depot and get paid to recycle. Steel recycling facilities in Winnipeg include Urban Mine, Rakowski’s recycling and many more.
• Are you removing old pipes from the house? Use these to make some great tables for a workshop! Or sell them to your local scrap yard, and again, you can be paid to recycle.

All metals can be recycled at your local scrap yard. You will be paid the going rate for your scrap, and know that it will be recycled into something useful again!
