How much can we save?

If all customers in our industry participated fully in a

recycling program, our industry could potentially reclaim
thousands of metric tons* of recycleable carbide. Not
only does that keep tons of carbide out of landfills, it
also helps us to conserve this limited natural resource.

Our commitment
Sandvik Coromant is committed to environmental
