Nationwide Car Recycling Efforts
Each year, the steel industry recycles more than 14 million tons of steel from end-of-life vehicles. This is
equivalent to nearly 13.5 million cars. When comparing the amount of steel recycled from automobiles each year to the amount of steel used to produce new cars that same year, automobiles maintain a recycling rate of nearly 100%.
Recycled Content of Cars
By weight, the typical passenger car consists of about 65 percent steel and iron. The steel used in car bodies is made with about 25 percent recycled steel.
Environmental Benefits of Car Recycling
Recycling steel saves energy and natural resources. The steel industry annually saves
the equivalent energy to power about 18 million households for a year.
Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1400 pounds of coal
and 120 pounds of limestone. (Courtesy of the Steel Recycling Institute - SRI)
