Abstract: This research paper provides a multidisciplinary review of recycled steel’s role in advancing sustainable construction and circular economy practices. It critically examines lifecycle material circularity, the potential for decarbonization through scrap steel utilization, and the transformative impact of recycled steel in modern architectural design. The paper also explores cross-industry collaborations as enablers of low-carbon steel supply chains and evaluates the structural performance of recycled steel in extreme environments, including thermal, seismic, and corrosive conditions. Drawing on global case studies and empirical research, the paper highlights the growing synergy between digital innovation, architectural reuse, and lifecycle sustainability in steel applications. The findings underscore that recycled steel is not merely a substitute for virgin materials but a high-performance, eco-efficient solution central to the transition toward resilient, climate-conscious infrastructure.
