    the epa numbers quoted in the blog are interesting - that's a larger savings than I thought

    The US Environmental Protection Agency has identified six major benefits of using scrap instead of virgin materials — iron ore and coal — in making new steel:

    97% Reduction in mining wastes

    90% Savings in virgin materials use

    86% Reduction in air pollution

    76% Reduction in water pollution

    74% Savings in energy

    40% Reduction in water use

    Yeah I was pretty suprised when I found that out myself. Everyone seems to focus on the negatives of scrapping and I for one am ready for people to start seeing the positives it brings to the envornment.
