What? Electric Arc Furnaces are the main way of recycling steel lol, that’s Nucor’s whole business. Most profitable steel company in the world.

This right here. Worked at one of their Arkansas plants two years ago and generally speaking there are some opinions on "green steel."

Oftentimes the impact of green steels like the newer hydrogen process is higher than using DRI and an EAF. People just don't wanna hear that yet.
