How is Steel Recycled?

The Process from Scrap to New Steel

Steel is unique among materials because it is one of the few that can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of quality. This inherent recyclability makes steel an essential part of the circular economy, where materials stay in use for as long as possible to minimize waste and environmental impact.
