Reducing Industrial Waste : Numbers That Make a Difference!

Published on: February 3, 2025

In the manufacturing industry, particularly in the machining of complex parts, reducing Industrial metal waste represents a significant challenge. European project SCORE will contribute to improve following numbers

💡 90% of metal waste can be efficiently recycled through advanced technologies such as shredding, centrifugation, and briquetting.[1]

🌍 Mechanical recycling reduces CO₂ emissions by 53% compared to traditional methods and up to 93% compared to raw material extraction.[2]

♻️ With optimized systems, recovery rates of 90 to 95% are achievable for metals like aluminum.[3]

🔧 Every ton of recycled swarf represents significant energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint, perfectly aligned with European sustainability goals.

The SCORE project, funded by the European Union, demonstrates how industrial innovation can transform waste into valuable resources and support the transition to a circular economy.
