Repurposed

Steel for construction doesn't exist without the recycling industry. John Sacco, owner of Sierra International Machinery, dives into the critical process of making steel from recycled materials by showcasing the people and infrastructure at SSAB, Iowa.

A steel mill cannot operate without a metals recycling facility, and a metals recycling facility can't operate without an outlet for the metals it recycles. But it all starts with safety.

To completely understand how the process of recycling comes full circle, John Sacco goes on a journey through SSAB's steel mill in Iowa to witness steelmaking up close and personal.

In the Repurposed Season 1 finale, John Sacco concludes his journey at the SSAB steel mill in Muscatine, Iowa, where we hear how this country makes "green" steel to become more energy efficient and less impactful to our environment.
