A NEVER ENDING STORY: THE MULTIPLE RECOVERY CYCLES OF STEEL

摘要

This paper provides compelling facts about steel's enormous recycling success and the immense contribution it makes to sustainability. Once iron ore is extracted for making new steel, in combination with recycled scrap, its life never ends. Instead, its original natural resources are amortized over future generations. Steel proves itself as a "green" or "sustainable" building material, benefiting environment, society, and economics.
