Most steel products today will contain about 67% recycled steel. This is material kept out of landfill sites. Steel is a valuable material and is generally either recycled or reused when occurring as part of construction or demolition waste. Thus, any steel generated from demolition can be readily sent for recycling or reuse, thus generating significant benefit for this credit. In addition, the use of steel components on-site generates very little waste, as the components are generally manufactured to tight tolerances in a factory and delivered to site for assembly. Any steel off-cuts that may arise are valuable and can be readily recycled. Thus, using steel structures and other steel components should contribute significantly to reducing site waste.
