Automobiles

When cars, trucks and buses are taken off the road to be scrapped, the steel parts are removed, melted down, and recycled into new steel products, including new cars.

In 2001, there were 25 cars recycled every minute across the United States, with a total of 13.9 million recycled in one year. This many cars yields enough steel to produce 302 aircraft carriers!

Steel Recycling Institute, 2002.
