Hi everyone,
Do any of you have experience with specifying recycled content of steel shapes? With so much emphasis on green buildings and LEED these days, I've been having to specify recycled content percentages in steel shapes in my specifications. Anyone done this before and have a general rule of thumb to follow? Seems to me like it shouldn't really matter as long as the steel still meets the applicable yield and ultimate strength requirements it needs to for ASTM requirements.
