#steel is made in the United States using
#recycledmaterials and cutting-edge Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology. β‘β»οΈ Thank you for the engagement, conversations, ideas, innovations, business, friendships, and more in 2024 through LinkedIn. It's been an incredible year and this community has been a major part of the journey. π May you and yours have a beautiful holiday season and a healthy and wealthy new year in 2025. π ----------> # 1 / 12 πββοΈ What if I told you the majority of the hashtag steel manufactured in the United States was made from recycled materials? β For instance, the giant charge bucket (shown in the video below) is about to drop many, many tons of recycled steel into this open-top furnace. What might be even more β‘ shockingβ‘ are the giant electrodes that are about to β‘ shock β‘ this steel to the point of remelting it into new steel. β» In the United States, over 70% of the steel manufacturers make steel this way. As in they take existing steel and remelt it. Many of them are finding and using green energy sources. πΊ Some furnaces can even use up to 100% recycled steel... which could possibly explain why these guys are in such a good mood. π Or it's because these electric arc furnaces (shown here) tend to produce higher profit margins for companies in the steel industry. πΏ π° So green means a couple different types in this case. πΈ : On the β° π± @liquid_steel Steel Manufacturers Association Magnar Metals
