According to the EPA, recycled iron and steel save the nation 74 percent of the energy that would have been needed to make new steel.
A typical appliance is produced using 65% steel which is the primary reason nearly 90% of discarded appliances are recycled each year.
Energy conserved by recycling instead of making new steel would be enough to electrically power about about 20 million homes for one year.
The overall annual recycling rate for steel is 88%. Each year, more than 70 million tons of steel are recycled. That is more than aluminum, paper, glass and plastic combined.
