If we didn ’ t produce the steel here , it would likely be produced elsewhere in an area with much lower environmental standards
“ It ’ s important to me and my family that we are environmentally
responsible as a company .
We know the things we do here impact the communities around us .”
Oliver Lyles , Safety Manager Nucor Steel , Seattle
Repurposing scrap for a cleaner , stronger Washington .
Every year , Nucor Steel recycles the equivalent of over a half million automobiles , turning heaps of scrap from old cars , appliances and soup cans into steel rebar for the next generation of roads , bridges and buildings .
While Nucor is the largest and oldest major recycler in Washington state , providing jobs to more than 320 families , few people realize they even exist . Perhaps it ’ s because the plant , located within sight of the Space Needle , not only meets — but goes beyond — federal clean air requirements . “ That ’ s one of the many things we do to be good neighbors in our community ,” says Nucor Seattle General Manager Matt Lyons .
“ If we didn ’ t produce the steel here , it would likely be produced elsewhere in an area with much lower environmental standards ,” says Patrick Jablonski , Nucor ’ s environmental manager .
