Sourcing Story
Where this material came from and how we verified it.
📍 Origin
Commercial fit-out salvage, Houston and New Orleans metro areas
Schedule-40 black iron pipe salvaged during commercial building gut renovations and HVAC replacements in Houston and New Orleans. Recovered before the scrap buyer arrives — which means it stays as pipe instead of being re-smelted into rod or billet.
⚖️ Diversion Impact
~18 lbs
diverted from landfill per 12-in section (1" dia avg).
✅ Quality Checks

- Threads inspected and re-cut where corroded or cross-threaded
- Interior flushed and visually inspected; no sections with scale buildup
- Not galvanized — verified black iron only (no zinc coating off-gassing risk)
