Why STEEL over other products TODAY and TOMORROW "Building for a Green World"Per the American Institute for Steel Construction... Framing systems utilizing structural steel are recycled, recyclable and reusable. Steel is the most recycled material in the world with structural steel's 97%+ recycled content setting the pace for the design profession in the pursuit of sustainable construction. Sustainable design practices have caught on and are spreading quickly. Owners and architects are realizing the benefits of sustainable design practices in improving not only the longevity of the earth's environment, but also the quality of the work environment. Under the LEED Green Rating System developed by the U.S. Green Building Council structural steel receives maximum credit for it's contribution to the overall rating for a structure.
