I WONDER - What Is The World's Most Recycled Material?

Steel is a highly durable and recyclable material, making it one of the most recycled materials globally. In North America alone, 60 to 80 million tons of scrap steel are recycled annually. Recycling steel is energy-efficient, requiring 60% less energy than producing new steel from iron ore. As a result, most steel objects we use are likely made from recycled steel.
