Sustainability isn’t a recent initiative at Lally Pipe & Tube — it’s been built into how we operate for decades. By intercepting secondary tubular products before they’re scrapped and putting them back into productive use, we’ve quietly been reducing industrial waste and carbon emissions long before the industry started keeping score. That commitment hasn’t changed. Every order placed with Lally is a step toward a cleaner supply chain.
Lally Pipe & Tube has been part of the circular economy long before “green” became a marketing term. We solved a real pollution problem for domestic tubular mills — what to do with the large quantities of secondary pipe considered production scrap or by-product.
Our answer was straightforward: buy it, process it, and put it back to work. We purchase secondary tubular products directly from mills and repurpose them for bollards, casing, columns, culverts, fencing, piling, sign poles, water wells, and more. Nothing gets scrapped unnecessarily. The mills avoid waste. The planet avoids the emissions. And our customers get high-quality, sustainable tubulars at a fraction of the cost of prime material.
When Lally processes secondary material, we generate roughly five to eight percent of unusable scrap — and even that doesn’t go to waste. We sell it directly to scrap dealers, who process and return it to domestic mills for melting and remanufacturing. The cycle starts again.
We consume one hundred percent of what we receive from domestic tubular mills. For recycling data, we reference the Steel Recycling Institute (recycle-steel.org), whose general domestic figures reasonably represent our inventory given that our tubulars come from a broad range of U.S. producers.
We regularly purchase New Surplus Pipe, Line Pipe, OCTG Casing, and Secondary/Reject Pipe in all quantities, large or small.
We turn your idle assets into capital, and the material gets a second life in a new application rather than a scrapyard.
