¤ STEEL - THE PERMANENT MATERIAL IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Reduce
Decreasing the amount of material, energy and other resources used to create steel and reducing the weight of steel used in products.
Reuse
Reuse is using an object or material again, either for its original purpose or for a similar purpose, without significantly altering the physical form of the object or material.
Remanufacture
The process of restoring durable used steel products to as-new condition.
Recycle
Melting steel products at the end of their useful life to create new steels. Recycling alters the physical form of the steel object so that a new application can be created from the recycled material.
