The best part may be that steel is completely recyclable. More steel is recycled per year than paper, glass, aluminum and plastic put together, and amounts to approximately sixty million tons per year. For an eye opening comparison of the environmental benefits, consider that you can build a 2,000 square foot home from the steel of six recycled cars, whereas you would need to cut down forty to fifty trees to do the same job in wood! Steel buildings also score high on the physical health and safety scales. For one, steel is less conducive to mildews and mold than wood buildings. Steel does not rust due to the galvanization process.
