Nucor proudly uses recycled scrap to make high-quality steel with low emissions. Using one of the cleanest and most energy efficient steel-making processes available. We’re proud to be a part of a circular economy, minimizing waste and energy use and reusing all materials so that almost nothing is discarded. The steel in a Model T may have been recycled into rebar, which was recycled into a train, which eventually became a windmill. The cycle lives on. Steel can be infinitely recycled and reused without any quality loss. Nucor steel products are made from an average of 77.3% recycled content, with some products containing almost 100% recycled content. We also recycle more than 90% of the dust from our electric arc furnaces (EAF). For more than 50 years Nucor has pioneered circular, electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking that recycles scrap into new steel. Nucor’s circular steel mill GHG intensity is 1/3 the global average of extractive, blast furnace steelmakers. We are committed to renewable energy. Nucor has invested in multiple power purchase agreements to lower our carbon footprint. We are committed to being good stewards across North America. These stories show what’s possible as we strive to find new and innovative ways to continue to decrease our carbon footprint.
