Recycled Steel

Steel is the most recycled material on earth, and recycled steel is an essential ingredient used in Butler and BlueScope Steel’s integrated steelmaking processes. The electric arc furnace process used at the North Star BlueScope Steel plant in the United States is more environmentally friendly than basic oxygen furnaces—enabling the use of 75%–100% recycled steel.

  • All Butler® buildings contain up to 74% recycled steel
  • Butler® buildings are also designed to be easily disassembled and reused or recycled
