Export restrictions, raw material shortages and rising costs are posing challenges for carbide production and processing in Europe: critical raw materials such as tungsten and cobalt are not only becoming more expensive, but are also increasingly difficult to procure. With the introduction of the G\u00fchring Tool Circle, the carbide and tool manufacturer has been taking a decisive step towards independence since 2024. And today, it proves that raw material security and customer benefits can be sustainably combined.

For countries that do not have their own primary raw materials, innovative recycling processes are the key solution. Keeping valuable resources in circulation not only strengthens security of supply, but also independence from exporting countries.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Thanks to its own carbide technology and recycling facilities, G\u00fchring is able to recover and recycle almost 100 per cent of raw materials from carbide scrap, all within Germany. \u201cWe are not only consumers, but also producers of carbide. By recycling worn out tools and other carbide scrap, we are not only securing our own supply, but also that of our customers,\u201d explains Wilfried Hartmann, Product Manager for hard materials at G\u00fchring. As the responsible use and long-term availability of natural resources are at the heart of its value creation, G\u00fchring will remain a reliable partner for high-quality cutting tools in the future.<\/p>\n

No recycling without carbide scrap: with this in mind, G\u00fchring does not rely on short-term revenue models, but on full transparency, fairness and long-term partnerships. The current carbide market price is used to ensure a fair repurchase price. In addition, customers receive up to 15 % on top of the market scrap price with the bonus model, which is issued as a credit note for the purchase of new tools. The amount of the credit note increases with the use of services from a total of four sub-areas: there is already a 3 % bonus for pure carbide recycling. Customers who also purchase new tools, have tools undergo regrinding or use G\u00fchring Tool Management receive an additional 3 %. Full participation in all four fields results in an additional bonus, which increases the total credit note to up to 15 %.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe path to carbide recycling must be simple,\u201d explains Hartmann. \u201cThis is exactly what the G\u00fchring Tool Circle stands for \u2013 with real added value for our customers.\u201d As a certified waste disposal company, G\u00fchring takes care of the entire recycling logistics, from collection to the preparation of a detailed sorting report. Customers do not have to worry about a thing.

Our results showed that carbide recycling at G\u00fchring saves 64.8 % CO\u2082 compared to using commercially available carbide powder from primary materials. For us, it is clear that switching to secondary raw materials in carbide production and thus the issue of material cycles is the greatest way for saving CO2 emissions,\u201d confirms the Inas Institute for Applied Sustainability. For the tools, it makes no difference whether the raw materials are freshly extracted or recycled. The new tools have the same quality.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n With the G\u00fchring Tool Circle, recycling becomes a strategic advantage.
