RESTORATION RECYCLABILITY STATEMENT FAQ's CONTACT US     STATEMENT ON RECYCLABILITY Hot rolled steel windows made by SWI members are manufactured from specifically designed steel window sections made of 100% recycled steel. Due to the natural resilience of steel over most other window materials available, steel windows can remain functional for several generations before any need to upgrade window performance through contemporary window technologies, such as glass, weatherstripping, etc. When century old steel windows have fulfilled their original role, it is important to know that their value can continue because they can be recycled back into service in the steel market in various forms and functions. The environmental benefits of using recycled steel can be found on the steel web site at www.recycle-steel.org. © The Steel Window Institute (2006) Contents are the property of the Steel Window Institute, its members or others who have licensed the information.
