Steel buildings are increasingly being used in both large and small construction projects. You can construct a steel building in your own backyard as a garage or workshop or barn, or in a commercial setting as an office building, retail center or factory. Steel buildings have several benefits over more traditional construction, including strength, longevity and a lower cost of construction. Another big benefit of steel buildings that many people aren’t aware of is the environmental benefit.
Steel is one of the most recycled products in the entire world and is 100 percent recyclable. This trait means that the life cycle of steel can potentially continue on forever, as it can always be made into new products once the old ones have been used up. The fact that steel buildings can be made of recycled materials is a huge selling feature for many contractors, property managers and homeowners.
Sometimes, when steel is recycled, magnetic belts are used to separate steel from other recyclable materials like paper or cardboard. If the steel has a layer of tin attached, the tin will be removed from the steel because tin is a material that’s recycled on its own. This is usually a process that occurs with steel cans. Different types of steel don’t have to be separated from one another during the sorting process, so different steel products can be left together. Parts of steel buildings that are no longer in use can also be added to the mix.
Once all of the steel that is to be recycled is separated and sorted from the other materials, it must be melted. The scrap steel, cans, appliances and other pieces of steel are added to a furnace where they are melted. Once the steel is melted, it is poured into casters and rolled out into flat sheets. During the melting process, impurities are burned out of the steel, as well as any other bits of other material still left over from sorting. Whether the original products were from cars, appliances or steel buildings, it just melts away into liquid. From there, it is reformed and molded into new products, which may include elements of steel buildings. Every section of steel buildings can be recycled in this fashion, making steel the ultimate in eco-friendly construction.
Even when all aspects of steel buildings are made through the recycling process, the strength of the steel is not compromised. With steel buildings becoming more and more popular, the steel recycling industry is likely to continue to grow as well. Virtually all aspects of steel building construction provide benefits to the people putting up the buildings and the people using them. To know that you haven’t cut down any trees or disrupted any other natural resources to put up steel buildings helps to give a peace of mind through the whole process. If you have a small backyard storage shed or a large manufacturing plant, you can have a recycled steel building to be proud of.
