Get Cash for Carbide Recycling
10.20.2016
Many shops throw used tooling in the trash, but these valuable materials shouldn’t be wasting away in a scrapyard. Kennametal and Sandvik, members of Partners in THINC, offer extensive carbide recycling programs that make it easy for shops to make good use of spent tooling. Plus, it’s never a bad thing to earn some green for going green! Both of these partners offer cash for your used tooling.
Sandvik Recycling
Most of Sandvik’s solid carbide tools come from recycled carbides. Their recycling program pays a competitive market price for your used carbide. Customers can make tens of thousands of dollars annually in profit by selling their worn inserts and solid carbide tools, regardless of their origin.
Making new tools from recycled solid carbide requires 70% less energy than making them from virgin raw materials. Production from recycled materials means 40% less carbon dioxide is emitted. Because these raw materials are scarce and finite, recycling becomes even more of a necessity. Estimated reserves of tungsten, for example, are around seven million tons, or 100 years of consumption. Why mine unnecessarily?
Sandvik uses environmentally sound methods to recycle. The production in the recycling factory is ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified. They are continuously searching for ways to make recycling technologies cleaner and more efficient.
Kennametal Recycling
Kennametal’s carbide recycling program allows users to get paid in cash for turning in their scrap carbide. They say turning scrap carbide into cash is as “easy as 1-2-3” with their simple process:
- Get a Quote: Find out what your scrap carbide is worth on the Get a Quote form. If you like the price, use the Send Carbide form to ship the carbide to them.
- Ship Via Green Box™ Containers: Sturdy Green Boxes are provided to ship your scrap carbide to Kennametal. Need a Green Box? Request one on the order confirmation page after you submit the Send Carbide form.
- Earn Cash: Kennametal pays cash or issues a credit for the value of your scrap carbide.
