Is plastic more enviromentally friendly than steel?
Now we all know that certain percentages of both materials get recycled but what about the processes during manufacture?
Nobody has yet addressed your basic question regarding manufacture.
I do not have the comparative numbers; however, considering the energy expended for massive excavations and transport needed to acquire pound of iron ore plus the ecological damage of the excavations themselves and the collateral pollutions of streams ( much like with the strip mining of coal) , when compared to the pumping of a gallon of crude oil, I would say that steel begins with a much higher environmental debit and never catches up. What happens at the end of the cycle is inconsequential in comparison.
