- Greenhouse Gas Emissions: GHG/ton of steel shipped have been reduced by nearly 45% since 1975.
- Air and water emissions are 90% lower today than 10 years ago.
- More than 95 percent of the water used for steelmaking is recycled--often returning water cleaner than when taken from its source.
- Virtually all hazardous waste once generated by the steel industry is now being recycled for recovery for beneficial use.
- The North American steel industry has reduced energy demands while still increasing production.
