Over 2.6 million tons of appliances, nearly 1.6 million tons of steel cans, nine million cars... all recycled by Nucor last year. Conservation of this magnitude leads to over 5,400 BTU's of energy saved for every pound of steel that is recycled.
Nucor is America's Largest Recycler -
Nucor recycles nearly 20 million tons of steel a year. Nucor metal buildings have a published average rate of 89% or higher recycled content, which means that a Nucor metal building can be an exceptional option if you wish to qualify for LEED Certification.

We value our environment, and recognize the importance of protecting it, for our communities, employees, and our long-term success. NBS buildings, with the exception of the "CFR"™, are made from Nucor steel - which is made from scrap. NBS steel materials are 100% recyclable in the future, which means if the building were taken out of service, all of the steel could be made into new steel.
