The North American steel industry annually recycles millions of tons of steel scrap from recycled cans, automobiles, appliances, construction and other steel products. This scrap is remelted to produce new steel. This means that all new steel is made with recycled steel. The Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), a unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute, is an industry association that promotes and sustains the recycling of all steel products. The SRI educates the solid waste industry, government, business and ultimately the consumer about the benefits of steel's infinite recycling cycle
