LEED Construction Credits

MRI Steel Framing products are manufactured using the world’s most recycled material – steel.  With our metal framing components and accessories, you will enjoy less jobsite waste as opposed to dimensional lumber and other construction methods. Less field cutting means increased labor savings – plus it is better for the environment.

The Steel Recycling Institute estimates that the percentage of recycled content in steel ranges from 23% post-consumer content to 58.6%, and 7.3% post-industrial content to 32.6%, depending upon the method of manufacture of the raw coil. 

Due to the basis of manufacture of all of MRI Steel Framings products, as well as all products being purchased in our Gary, Indiana headquarters, you can obtain all of your LEED Construction Credits with MRI.
