The Industrial Steel Drum Institute (ISDI) represents the interests of new steel drum manufacturers in North America and their suppliers. Its mission is to promote the interests of its members through government relations, technical research, education, and marketing initiatives.

Steel is the most recycled material in the world, and steel drums are 100% recyclable. They contain significant recycled content and can be recycled repeatedly and remade into new steel products without any loss of quality.
