METAL
Metals like steel, iron, and aluminum are commonly salvaged from demolition sites due to their recyclability and economic value.

Metals account for approximately 20-30% of total construction and demolition waste globally.
Recycling one ton of steel saves around 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone.


The recycling rate for metals in the U.S. construction industry is estimated to be around 90%.
