CMC Commercial Metals

CMC Commercial Metals recycles scrap metal and manufactures steel products through recycling yards, steel mills and fabrication operations in North America, Europe and Asia. The company was founded as a recycling business more than 110 years ago and now spans metal recycling, mill products, rebar fabrication, corrosion resistant reinforcement and construction services. It frames this work as early-stage construction, supplying material for site preparation, foundations, highways, bridges and buildings, and cites AT&T Stadium in Dallas and the Pentagon among the projects it has supported.

Metal recycling

Purchasing, selling and recycling scrap metal is described by the company as the foundation of its business. Recycling operations run at more than 40 locations, with capacity to process and ship nearly 5 million tons of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap annually. Scrap is bought, processed, sold and managed in collaboration with partners internationally.

Scrap activity is organized around selling to CMC, buying from CMC, and scrap management programs. The company reported 7.3 million tons of recycled metal in its 2025 sustainability report, and publishes ISRI specifications along with links to scrap market and industry information sources.
