Nowadays, recycling is not only an ecological necessity, but also an important part of our production at SCHÄFER Perforated Metal. These sustainable and efficient solutions benefit both our customers and the environment.
Find out how we implement this important process in our company and what advantages it offers.
At SCHÄFER Perforated Metal, we are increasingly focussing on sustainable production. The so-called slug scrap is separated by type and reused.
This philosophy is deeply rooted in our group of companies. We ensure that our production processes are environmentally friendly and conserve resources. These measures help to reduce the need for new raw materials and minimise the environmental impact.
Conserving resources is a key advantage of the recycling process. By using recycled material, we reduce the need for new raw materials and save energy.
For example, one tonne of scrap steel can be used to produce as much new steel as 1.5 tonnes of iron ore. This leads to considerable savings in resources and energy.
Recycling steel also significantly reduces CO2 emissions. In Germany, over 20 million tonnes of CO2 are saved every year through recycling.
The recycling process begins with the collection and sorting of slug scrap. This remains after the perforated sheets have been perforated.
It is processed by pressing, shredding and shearing to prepare the scrap for further processing.
The cleaned steel scrap is then melted in electric furnaces and processed further.
Recycled material is used in many areas. Our perforated sheets are used for cooling, protection, safety and architecture, among other things.
The high quality and reliability of our products ensure that they can be used in a wide range of applications. Regardless of whether they are standard solutions or customised requirements, our perforated sheets always meet the high expectations of our customers.
