3 Amazing Facts on Sustainable Steel You Should Know
Environment and conservation issues rose to prominence in the 1970s.
Sustainability and steel construction go hand in hand more intimately than we might realize.
Sustainable Steel is the new trend in the construction market because of its cost effective and eco-friendly components.
Buildings made with sustainable steel are known as Green Buildings.

Here are 3 amazing facts on Sustainable Steel:
- Minimal waste with recycling
The steel construction industry leads the way when it comes to recycling.
With the increase in awareness about the environmental effects brought about by construction, landfilling has been strictly removed from most of the countries.
Instead, the waste generated during construction or demolition of any site/building, all the materials are recycled and put to use in some way or the other.
Recycling steel eliminates waste and avoids the environmental impact associated with the production of new products from virgin sources.
The stock of steel is an important and valuable material resource for the construction sector that can be reclaimed later.
- Increases Efficiency
Fabric Energy Storage is the process by which the structure of a building is used to absorb excess heat during the day.
Studies show that using the Fabric Energy Storage method decreases daytime peak temperatures by almost 3-5%.
This heat that is stored during the day is then purged during the cooler hours. This also reduces the need for coolers, and saves money too.

- Innovation with Sustainability
Market innovation responds to the need of the hour. Its latest focus is on sustainability.
Every new invention demands a new innovation. Innovative designs and architecture are now coming into the market and go hand-in-hand with sustainable steel.
Environmental effects are among the main challenges the construction industry is facing and working to reduce or even eliminate the elements that pose a danger to the planet.
Sustainable steel has also increased structures’ longevity and cost effectiveness.
