LEED

As one of the largest recyclers in the United States, Commercial Metals Company (CMC) is a member and a proud supporter of the efforts of the U.S. Green Building Council in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) initiative. All of CMC's steel mills utilize state-of-the-art Electric Arc Furnace Technology to make steel. This technology uses pre and post-consumer recycled scrap as the primary feedstock for the steelmaking process and comprises on average a 98.0% recycled content. With the significantly high percentage of recycled materials, all of CMC's products play a major role in "Green Construction" and are a positive contributor to the LEED rating system.
With the geographical dispersion of our recycling, steel making and fabricating facilities, CMC's operations are within 500 miles of almost all possible construction sites in the U.S.
