STEEL FOR PACKAGING’S HIGH RECYCLING RATE

European steel industry is committed to continually reducing energy use and emissions.
Moreover, Steel for packaging’s high recycling rate substantially reduces CO2 emissions.

In 2017, over 2.8 million tonnes of packaging steel was recycled in Europe, saving over 4 million tonnes of CO2

Energy and raw materials embedded in recycled cans are entirely reused

Using recycled steel saves 70% energy

Each item of recycled steel packaging saves over one and a half times its weight in CO2
