At Nucor, we recycle 9 million cars a year.
Melting down usable steel and recasting it into a new life. Not to mention giving new life
to the environment. Because recycled steel reduces mining waste by 97%, air pollution by 86%, water pollution by 76%. And because our mini mills use significantly less energy than conventional steelmaking, we save
6 trillion BTUs per year. Enough to power Los Angeles for 8 years. All while helping the industry reduce greenhouse gas emissions, exceeding the Kyoto Protocol’s target by more than 240%.
Making the world we live in a cleaner place. Including our clothes.
