A typical appliance is produced using 65% steel which is the primary reason nearly 90% of discarded appliances are recycled each year.
The overall annual recycling rate for steel is nearly 88%. Each year, more than 70 million tons of steel are recycled. That is more than aluminum, paper, glass and plastic combined.
Steel's inherent magnetism makes it easier to separate and recycle from other materials in the thousands of curbside recycling programs across the nation.
Steel is sustainable by being continually recyclable without any loss of performance or quality. This is vital to promote confidence as a material in building the nation's infrastructure, which includes such American engineering marvels as the Golden Gate Bridge.
