Key Sustainability Actions in Injection Molding
1. Maximizing Recycling, Securing Supply
We’re serious about using less primary raw material. Already, 81% of what goes into our melt shops is recycled. Our goal: over 90% by 2030. We’re always looking for new ways to recycle, reuse, and secure the key materials our industry needs—so you can count on supply.
2. Closed Loop: Circular Economy in Action
We take your worn-out dies and tools off your hands and recycle them through our closed-loop process. You free up space, avoid disposal hassles, and know your old tools are being put to good use—turned into new steel, safely and responsibly, with your know-how protected.
