Recycled metals - environmentally friendly - widely used Steel Aluminium Copper Lead Recycled content 42% 39% 32% 74% Energy saving 60-75% 95% 87% 60%

Huge environmental benefits Metal recycling saves 551 million tonnes CO 2 equivalent to: 1.8 % of all fossil fuel emissions* 65% emissions from aircraft Increasing recycled content from 40%-50% would be equivalent to: 15% cut in aircraft emissions *metal and paper, according to BIR/Imperial College (2010)

High quality metal from scrap Electric Arc Furnace steelmaking % scrap metal - tool steels, engine blocks, construction materials Foundries - Up to 100% scrap - statues to oil rig castings BOF steelmaking (blast furnace sites) % scrap metal
