For Rebecca Rinaudo, the excitement lies in seeing that transformation firsthand and being part of the team that keeps valuable materials in the cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe see some really cool stuff come in for recycling, like airplanes, trains, buses and boats,\u201d Rebecca said. \u201cIt all goes through the shredder, and then we either truck it down south to the EAF, or fill shipping containers that get exported overseas to be processed and come back as new steel again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not just the work that keeps her motivated. It is the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love coming to work because of my colleagues. It is a real family environment here, and I love being a team player,\u201d she said. \u201cI did not think recycling was for me until I tried it, and I cannot get enough of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now in a senior leadership position, Rebecca says the culture at InfraBuild supports inclusion and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel respected regardless of my gender, and I would encourage everyone to give it a go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From aeroplanes to everyday scrap, every load helps close the loop, turning yesterday\u2019s metal into tomorrow\u2019s steel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Rebecca Rinaudo from InfraBuild Recycling, who helps keep steel in the cycle and shows that recycling is a career for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":179,"featured_media":41026,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"tags":[],"business_division":[113],"class_list":["post-41021","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","business_division-recycling"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
