Happy Earth Day! Steel is a highly recyclable building material. In fact, steel is one of the most recycled materials globally. It can be used multiple times without compromising performance. All shop scraps from the Fabco weld shop are properly recycled. While we aren’t claiming to be perfect – we aim to improve efficiency and embrace sustainable practices as much as we can. Steel recycling helps minimize the amount of waste in landfills and we are about it!

Did you know that ERpro suspension seats are light and almost 100% recyclable? Our company, having a strong ecological consciousness and taking into account the necessities for the sustainability of the planet, always tries to choose and use materials which, in addition to fulfilling their purpose in terms of structural strength and resistance to corrosion, are light and recyclable . Based on the above idea and sacrificing sometimes the appearance of the products, most of the ERpro's seats are chosen to be made of aluminum. Recycling aluminum reduces pollution, saves resources, reduces waste going to landfills and prevents the destruction of habitats from mining new ore. Metal recycling conserves natural resources by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using less energy than making metal from virgin ore. In addition, the light weight contributes to the lower fuel consumption of the boats and therefore to the lower emission of exhaust gases. Do you know that Over two-thirds of all the aluminum ever produced is still in use today?

Did you know that about 85% of end-of-life steel is collected for recycling globally? ♻️ This puts steel ahead of the circularity curve, especially compared to other materials: 🥤 Around 9% of plastics are recycled. 🏢 About 5% of concrete is recycled. However, there are still ways to improve the circularity of steel. Read the Future of Steel white paper now to learn more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ePqUBAQv

Founder & CEO at Cyrkl | Providing solution for sustainable and efficient waste & material management
The recycling of flat glass, particularly from automotive sources and old windows and facades, is highly beneficial in saving natural resources and reducing CO2 emissions. However, the end-of-life recycling of these materials is currently limited. That's why, through our consulting services, we assisted one of the leading company in the EU in construction materials industry sector to: 👉 Analyse the quantities of waste flat glass across many EU countries. 👉 Identify key stakeholders 👉 Most importantly, find and share contacts with identified stakeholders First step to closed the loop in flat glass recycling ♻️ Well done team Zuzana Špuntová, Emil Weiss, Lenka Ľuptáková and others The private sector can accomplish a great deal, but what is also necessary to unlock the full potential of flat glass recycling: 👉 Encourage legislation to increase incentives 👉 Set concrete recycling targets 👉 Provide more support to enhance recycling capacities

Recycled plastic aggregate is a fantastic topic to explore! Using recycled plastic as an aggregate in construction materials has numerous benefits, such as: - Reduced plastic waste in landfills and oceans - Lower carbon footprint compared to traditional aggregates - Improved durability and resistance to corrosion - Potential cost savings Some potential applications include: - Concrete production - Asphalt pavement - Building insulation - Drainage systems However, there are also challenges and considerations, such as: - Ensuring consistent quality and properties - Addressing potential environmental impacts - Overcoming industry skepticism and regulatory barriers Overall, developing and utilizing recycled plastic aggregate is an innovative and sustainable solution for the construction industry, and it's worth further exploration and investment!

Have you heard about the incredible recycling machine in New Zealand that's transforming glass bottles into sand? This game-changing technology is revolutionizing the way we handle waste and is poised to make a significant impact on the construction industry. The machine, operated by Metro Glass, has already crushed over 300 tonnes of glass into a sand substitute that can be used in various applications such as roading, construction, and even golf courses. This not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills but also helps conserve natural resources. The process of recycling glass is quite fascinating. First, the glass is separated into different colors (green, brown, and clear) to ensure it can be reused effectively. Then, the glass is crushed into a fine powder that can be used as a substitute for sand in various construction projects. This innovative approach not only benefits the environment but also supports the construction industry's goal of reducing waste. It's a win-win for everyone involved! Anyone else want to give this a try? Share your thoughts and experiences with recycling and sustainability in the comments below!

Interesting to see if this pencils ✏️ out and scales. Carbon counters at the gates… Recycling can be a highly energy intensive process especially when adding consideration for transport, etc. https://lnkd.in/g9dvMRbM

Did you know that 70% of metal from an average car can be recycled? 🤯🤯 At InfraBuild, old cars are shredded at our recycling sites then transported to our steel mills to be made into recycled steel. Recycling steel drives material circularity, reduces emissions, saves on natural resources and diverts scrap from landfill. Optimising InfraBuild's vertically-integrated steel recycling and manufacturing processes, we produce nation building steel for Australia 👷💞 #BuildingFuturesThroughSustainableSteel

Did you know that steel is the most recycled material in the world? With approximately 40% of all steel produced being created through recycling, it's no wonder it's the most recycled material globally. However, recycled steel only accounts for around 40% of the total amount of steel produced due to the high amount of steel produced compared to scrap. Every year, approximately 1085 million tonnes of steel are recycled, making a significant impact on our environment. Let's continue to prioritise metal recycling and promote sustainability in our communities. Together, we can make a difference! ♻️🌍 #metalrecycling #scrapmetal #scraplife #sustainability #recyclingindustry #landfills #demolition #cleanandgreen

Why Steel Is One of the World's Most Recycled Materials? #Steelfacts by #ViratSteels ... Steel is indeed highly recyclable and sustainable, there are ongoing efforts within the industry to further reduce its environmental impact. For example, some steelmakers are working on cleaner production methods and technologies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions . It's essential for us all to continue supporting sustainable practices for a better future! Steel, often referred to as the king of recycling, holds a remarkable position in the world of materials. Let’s explore why: Recyclability and Reusability: Steel is 100% recyclable and can be reused over and over without any quality loss. It is the most recycled material in the world, with approximately 680 million metric tons recycled in 2021. Its crown as a recyclable champion is well deserved. Environmental Responsibility: The steel industry is committed to environmental responsibility. Around 90% of water used in steel production is cleaned, cooled, and returned to its source. Most losses occur due to evaporation. The energy required to produce a tons of steel has been reduced by approximately 60% over the last 50 years. Water returned to rivers and other sources is often cleaner than when initially extracted. Material Efficiency: The recovery and use of steel industry co-products have reached a worldwide material efficiency rate of 97.34%.Steel is not only timeless but also adaptable to modern challenges. Renewable Energy and Beyond: Steel plays a crucial role in delivering renewable energy through applications like solar, tidal, geothermal, and wind power. In summary, steel’s core lies at the heart of a green economy, where environmental consciousness meets industrial progress. As the world seeks solutions to environmental challenges, steel remains an essential ally. The Leading Company VIRAT SPECIAL STEELS PVT.
