We love steel – it’s what we’re about and what we do! Well, maybe that should say recycled steel anyway, which is perhaps the single most important material the UK and the world as a whole depends on. With each year, steel becomes increasingly more efficient, more capable and more affordable – we quite literally live in a world that’s built on recycled steel.
Admittedly, it’s not the most interesting or thrilling subject for most…chances are you’ve got better things to do than spend your time celebrating the glory of all-things steel. But at the same time, it’s worth reading over just a few simple facts about the metal you probably take for granted each and every day, just to garner a little appreciation if nothing else. 
Recycled Steel Loses Nothing
For example, did you know that when steel is recycled it has 100% of the strength, integrity and versatility as first-run steel? This isn’t one of those cases where the more times a material is recycled the more its properties are compromised – recycle steel 500 times and it will be just as good as the very first time it was made!
We’re Still Learning
If you thought the steel on the market today was the same as that of a few decades ago, you’re wrong. Likewise, if you expect the steel of 2030 to be the same as today’s, not a chance. Steel is being made stronger, lighter and more affordable all the time – even today we’re still learning of the ways and means by which steel can be made better and will be made better going forward.
Car Recycling – It’s a Big Deal!
We like to think we offer a unique service package, but alone in the industry we certainly are not. In fact, on a global basis around 15 million cars are recycled every year, which in turn produces enough recycled steel to make most of the next year’s annual car quota! If everyone with a scrap car was to recycle it properly at the right time, the car making industry might never have to use a shred of new steel ever again!
Recycled Steel Loves the Environment
The recycling process might look like a bit of a grubby business, but it actually loves Mother Earth in a big way. First of all, to recycle steel uses about 75% less energy than it does to make new steel the first time around – you also need a hell of a lot less additional materials and resources. And if that wasn’t enough, the fact that recycled steel is being made stronger and lighter all the time means less is needed to go the same distance!
You Could Cash-In on Steel Recycling
And finally, the price of scrap steel goes up and down all the time but demand is constant all year-round. As such, there is no right or wrong time to scrap your car, or pretty much anything else you have that qualifies for recycling. Feel free to give us a call and we’ll guarantee you the best price on your scrap car!
