100% recyclable car materials
No matter how strong or sophisticated we make our AHSS steel, it’s still 100% recyclable.
TO THE START OF THE LIFE CYCLEIn fact, steel is infinitely recyclable, never losing its inherent properties. It’s no surprise that steel is — by far — the most recycled material in the world. And that there will always be an eager market for recycled steel.
So as countries begin to regulate the recyclability content of cars, feel confident as you specify Docol® AHSS steels — light, strong, and sustainable — to maximize your car designs and production.
