RECYCLING WITH SANDVIK
BENEFITS BUSINESS
Environmental considerations are crucial in all
operations at Sandvik, and never more so than when
it comes to the recycling of cemented carbide. The
global shortage of raw material has inspired our
scrap recycling program.
Sandvik recognizes today’s increasing environmental
concerns and is currently the only mining company
that recycles both steel and cemented carbide.
In fact, Sandvik has been operating in the collection and
recycling of scrap and discarded drilling consumables
What this means for your
productivity, your business
and the environment
for conversion back into basic raw materials for
almost 10 years. Many satisfied customers already
work with us as partners in our recycling program.
We make it as easy as possible for our customers
to participate in our recycling program with collection
at customer location. All Sandvik Mining customer
service centers are now set up to receive used
cemented carbide-enhanced products.
Our Chiplun recycling plant complies with the most
stringent environmental standards, and is certified to
the ISO 14001 international standard.
