We have millions of cars, planes, rebar, jewelry, bullets, boats, phones, wires, etc. How is there still metal being made? Are we projected to run out anytime soon?

There’s a lot of them.

Especially iron and aluminum, which are both in the top 5 of the most abundant elements on Earth.

But we also recycle much of what is being used, and pretty much all scrap from metal-working factories ends up melted and reused. Metals are very easily recycled.
