Recycled Content of Metal Roofing and Siding Panels

Metal roof and wall panels are made with the highest recycled content from the most recyclable materials on earth, making them a great choice not only for today, but also for future generations to use.

Metal roofing and siding panels are made with the highest recycled content from the most recyclable materials on earth, making them a great choice not only for today, but for future generations to use. Your old steel car, soup can or washing machine may become part of your new roof or siding material! The federal government and most states 

are mandating energy-saving requirements for buildings or giving tax breaks for energy-efficient and energy-saving construction products. Because recycling decreases the amount of energy required to produce metal products, recycled content is also being recognized and rewarded, making recycling an economic as well as an environmental benefit.
