The two reasons why the UK government is encouraging citizens to recycle iron and steel is:

1. The environment. Every machinery and device the industries makes which includes, infrastructures, mega structures to micro devices. Iron and steel is used. Reducing the extraction of ore and creating steel saves the environment, reduces mining.

2. Economic reasons. When the ore mining and steel making is reduced in activity, the government won’t just be able to save the environment but it also save funds for other purposes.
