40 tons of material inside a box that must be stacked up to 10 high while on a container ship and you want it lighter, cheaper and disposable?<br /><br /><br />They are currently made of steel because it is the cheapest obtainable material strong enough to do the job.<br /><br />Stamping out something made of wood pulp or polystyrene just ain't going to do the job . . . . <br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Steel is already the most widely recycled material on earth. After the shipping containers are retired there is very little waste.

Sure, they weigh less on the moon, and that is where most of the "craters" are.
