Automotive Steel: Designed Beyond the Life of a Car

As the primary material used in automobiles, steel's inherent recyclability has made it a leader in automotive recycling. And while recycling has environmental benefits, the use of steel in automobiles has environmental applications that originate with the steelmaking process and essentially have no terminus due to recycling. From the reuse of automotive parts to the continuing efforts toward actually using less steel for the same applications, today's and tomorrow's vehicles should be held up as examples of environmental compatibility.
