NBS buildings, with the exception of the "CFR"™, are made from Nucor steel - which is made from scrap. Published data states that NBS steel buildings contain 89% or more of recycled content. Not to mention, 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. (Click here for more)
