OCCOutdoors makes every effort to incorporate recycled materials into every facet of the manufacturing process for all of our site furnishings. Unsurprisingly, in today's ever-growing "Green" conscientiousness, Recycled park benches and trash receptacles are becoming much more popular.
OCC research puts recycled steel at the head of the list!
According to the American Iron & Steel Institute, annual recoup of steel averages around 68%. The amount of reclaimed steel blended in to a new product varies depending on the steel make process, between 16% and 100%. The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries states there were 81.4 million tons of steel and iron collected in the United States during 2006.
There is up to 74% energy savings using scrap steel when compared to traditional processing of virgin iron ore. And since the use of recycled steel does not impact standards set by the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), Outdoor Creative Concepts has continued their endeavors, increasing the recycled percentage in their products.
