The Environmental Benefits of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has many advantages and benefits including corrosion resistance, long-term value, and impact resistance and strength. Stainless steel can also be an excellent recyclable material. Environmental benefits are always important when considering the next material used for your products or services. This is one of the many reasons why we love using stainless steel at Suncor Stainless!
Stainless Steel 100% Recyclable
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable in its original form and can be repurposed should it cease to serve its original function. It will not leach toxic materials during the recycling process and reduces the need for mining the rarer elements that play an important role in the creation of stainless steel. This long-term value makes it an ideal environmental performer. Even when stainless steel is near the end of life that does not mean that stainless steel is not useful as a recyclable product. The main alloying elements of stainless steel including chromium, molybdenum, and nickel are all highly valuable and can be easily recovered and separated from other materials.
Stainless Steel Environmental Benefits
Stainless steel products can improve modern-day life which enables us to lead healthier lives and are cleaner for the environment as well. Stainless steel can be used to improve the cleanliness of water. Stainless steel pipes for drinking systems help to keep water clean and quality standards high. The correct grade selection will minimize the risk of any localized corrosion.
Stainless steel is also used to prevent the amount of waste gases and materials given off, as well as the disposal of waste products. Stainless steel is being used for the recycling of cardboard and paper. This is a major contribution to the reduction of waste steam as well as the protection of trees. Stainless steel is also being used as recycling collectors. They are corrosion resistant and not only do they have an aesthetic appearance but help keep the environment cleaner as well. Stainless steel continues to provide many benefits and long-term value!
