Recycling of Steel and Carbides
Reducing waste is an important environmental goal for Black Diamond Drilling. Recycling of steel and carbides is one contribution that BDDrill is making to lessen the impact on the environment. Finding more efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes reduces the need to extract new materials which promotes more sustainable practices.
Recycling is becoming more important in all industries around the world. Black Diamond Drilling is committed to improving sustainable business practices and reduce environmental impact. Recycling steel and tungsten carbide reduces the need for raw materials, preserving natural resources such as iron ore, coal, and limestone. It helps in conserving ecosystems and reducing the ecological footprint of mining activities.
The benefits of recycling steel and tungsten carbide
Steel:
Producing steel from recycled materials requires significantly less energy compared to producing steel from raw materials, leading to lower carbon dioxide emissions. Recycling steel uses about 74% less energy than producing steel from raw materials.
Reducing waste by promoting a circular economy where materials are reused and recycled, minimizing waste generation.
Using recycled steel can lower the costs of raw materials, making steel products more affordable for consumers.
Steel can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties or quality, making it an excellent material for sustainable practices. Recycled steel maintains the same strength, durability, and versatility as new steel.
Tungsten Carbide:
Tungsten is a rare and valuable metal. Recycling tungsten carbide helps conserve tungsten ore reserves, reducing associated environmental impacts.
Tungsten is critical for many applications in the drilling industry. Recycling ensures a more sustainable and reliable supply of this important material.
Recycling tungsten carbide requires significantly less energy than producing tungsten from ore, resulting in lower energy costs for manufacturing.
BDDrill aims to create circular economy by reusing materials, thereby reducing overall waste generation.
Recycled tungsten carbide maintains its original properties, including hardness, toughness, and durability, making it suitable for high-performance applications.
Recycling steel and tungsten carbide from our products offers substantial benefits by conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption, and minimising environmental impacts. It supports economic growth through cost savings and job creation while maintaining the high quality and performance of steel and tungsten carbide products.
Black Diamond Drilling is committed to continuous improvement and promotes a culture of environmental awareness, conservation and sustainability.
