Wear protection is key to turning profits in recycling

Businesses in the recycling industry can substantially reduce their costs – both financial and environmental – by wearfacing their equipment. Inaki Ezpeleta, Global Business Development Manager for Recycling at Castolin Eutectic, highlights the main wear-related challenges and advanced wear management solutions available.

Legislative and public demand for greater recycling effort is intensifying. Most people recognise that simply discarding used items is a waste of natural resources. They also appreciate that manufacture of replacements for discarded items means using extra energy and emitting more CO2. These costs are even greater when the manufacturing chain begins with new rather than recycled materials.
