The Steel Recycling Logo - A Sign of Quality and Environmental Awareness

As part of its ongoing efforts to support AISI Market Development initiatives and promote the environmental benefits of steel, the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) is working directly with manufacturers and steel industry customers to help them to raise awareness of the recyclability of steel.

The SRI actively promotes the Steel Recycling Logo as a symbol of environmental and product quality that reminds consumers that the product is made of steel and is recyclable. This practice has gained mainstream attention with the wave of environmental awareness that is being supported by the SRI.

Recently, the following manufacturers have turned to the SRI to help show their EnviroMetal™:

SteelBook™ is used for packaging digital media, including DVD, HD and Bluray discs from their clients that include Sony, Paramount, Warner, Capcom; software companies; entertainment and tourism marketing firms; sports associations and digital media production companies.
