If you are serious about building Green….with steel.
Follow the Eco-smart checklist?
Consider the following questions and make an intelligent green decision about the steel you use.
- What the recycled content? Our Bare Naked is be post consumer is 70% of which is 100% USA domestic scrap.
- What is the life span of the steel? 5, 10, 60 to 120 years?
- Untreated Steel is Greener. Less Toxic
- Is Cool Roof Technology a real energy benefit to your area? Sometimes not.
- Where it is produced-USA only, we can no longer afford to dump unregulated steel into the USA.
- How it is created-how green is the manufacturing plant that the raw steel comes from?
- BOF or EAF? Two totally different furnaces and worlds apart.
- Logistics. Can you source this product locally? Is the material railed or trucked?
- Local US Manufacturer….local owned businesses are better, and we have to support local manufacturing our a huge part of our USA economy will be lost forever.
Our check list will get you very close to deciding if you current supplier is giving you facts or just a nice marketing spin.
All our claims can be validated with MTR reports, Heat and coil verification, ASTM verification and documentation from the mill of origin. This information is on our Eco-Smart check list.
