85% - Steel is recicling champion!

29-07-2022

Europe has been recycling steel for a long time, so infrastructure is well established and highly efficient.

There’s a clear demand for steel scrap; it is needed for the manufacture of new steel, and so each of the 500+steel plants in Europe is already a recycling plant.

Choosing steel helps to keep recycling easy. Increased use and increased recycling rates of steel packaging reduce waste and save energy.
