Vulcraft sources all its steel requirements from Nucor’s circular steelmaking plants. Nucor is known industry-wide for successfully optimizing its carbon footprint for over 50 years. Nucor steel is produced with an average recycled content greater than 75 percent via electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, significantly reducing its carbon footprint to one third of the global extractive steelmaking average.
Steel is unique in its ability to be repeatedly recycled and reused without loss of quality. Vulcraft manufactures steel products that are made from an average of 77.3 percent recycled content, with some products containing nearly 100 percent recycled content. The steel from a vehicle may have been recycled multiple times before becoming the Vulcraft steel deck that forms the building blocks of your stunning design.
Vulcraft is firmly committed to increasing our use of renewable energy, which is why you can find solar fields at several of our facilities. Vulcraft is doing what we can to be good stewards in the communities where we work and live by harnessing natural energy and lowering our carbon footprint.
