• BlueScope Steel is Australia's leading buyer of the more than 45,000 tonnes of steel cans recycled each year through kerbside collections
• Port Kembla Steelworks has initiated a landmark recycled water agreement with Sydney Water that will reduce the Steelworks’ fresh water consumption by more than 50%, and greatly reduce the amount of waste water going to ocean outfalls
