progress - provisions for greater reuse of steel structures the whole life benefits of reusable single-storey steel buildings will be quantified from
demolition contractors were surveyed to estimate the percentage of reuse, recycling and waste of steel construction products; estimating that 5 of light structural
reuse is the second or subsequent use of a material (in its original form) after its first life with little or no reprocessing. reuse offers even greater environmental
another important difference between recycling and reuse is that any material is reusable, but not all materials are also recyclable. examples of construction
