Recycling metal rather than using virgin ore helps preserve natural resources and saves energy. In fact, creating products from recycled steel utilizes 40% less water and reduces mining wastes by 97%. Cascade Steel’s electric arc furnace (EAF) is more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly than traditional blast furnaces.
