The United States on average produces enough ferrous scrap to build 25 Eiffel Towers every day! Iron is one of the most abundant of all metals. It is the prime element in creating steel. If we used scrap ferrous metals rather than virgin materials, we could reduce emissions by 58% yearly.

The availability of secondary and recycled tin is crucial for the future. Due to tin’s versatility and unique properties, it is used in numerous new technologies. Tin is therefore key to both the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Green Revolution. Recycled tin is already contributing to a greener and more connected planet by fulfilling some of this new demand.
