Recycling & Environmental Protection

Protecting the environment and conserving resources are firmly anchored in Elmet Technologies (formerly H.C. Starck Solutions) corporate philosophy. Elmet Technologies (formerly H.C. Starck Solutions) is one of the world‘s leading companies in the recycling of technology metals and recycled materials is a primary raw material input in our production process – putting it at the forefront in its industry as recycling refractory metals is technically very demanding.

Through the use of special processes, we are able to reprocess semi-finished products, components, powder metals, and compounds, after they have been used by customers, and channel them back into the material cycle – without any loss of quality.

Environmental protection, resource conservation, energy savings, and waste avoidance – economically and ethically, much speaks in favor of recycling. Elmet Technologies (formerly H.C. Starck Solutions) is also constantly striving to optimize all its production processes to make them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Strategic partner of recycling-oriented industries

Our recycling expertise is based on years of development, and does more than just help us meet our own raw material demand. It makes us a strategic partner of industries focused on growth and recycling. With the increasing competition for raw materials, recycling is fast becoming a central element in stable raw material supplies.

With our “Closed-Loop” program, virtually all metals, materials, and parts from Elmet Technologies (formerly H.C. Starck Solutions) can be recycled in a closed reuse loop. We process blanks, components, metal powders, and compounds after use, making the recycled products just as high performing as they were before reclamation.
