Ecological Responsibility
We enjoy an intact environment and want to keep the beautiful landscape in our region clean and alive for our children.

We pay attention to an economical use of energy and resources, recycling of raw materials and waste heat as well as an environmentally friendly disposal of waste.
CLIMATE CHANGE
We are committed to further reducing our carbon footprint by continuing to implement energy and climate protection measures. Key elements of our environmental policy include increasing energy efficiency, using electricity from hydropower or renewable sources, and substituting petroleum-based auxiliary and operating materials and fuels.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
For the sake of our environment, we are committed to meeting the strict requirements for an environmentally friendly production process. These globally applicable criteria are an integral part of our corporate sustainability management. This is our contribution to a clean environment.
Recycling
The 360° service from EXTRAMET AG - your partner in protecting our environment!
EXTRAMET's goal is to reduce damage to the environment and guarantee a careful approach to the use of raw materials. We achieve this by not only recycling soft scrap in our own production facilities, but also recycling grinding sludge through our raw material suppliers. This 20-year partnership is a guarantee of both sustainability and continuity.
The close relationship between raw material supplier, tungsten carbide producer and tool manufacturer is vital to operating a closed recycling circuit.
We now offer our 360° service to our partners too, so that your business can benefit from it as well. We do not supply raw materials to China, but rather ensure that they are returned into the European cycle, contributing to environmental and economic sustainability in the European market.
Your benefits as a 360° Service Partner:
- Organisational: One contact for tungsten carbide, both purchasing and sales
- Logistical: Collecting containers are provided by us
- Economical: We offer fair prices, even for small quantities
- Environmental: We guarantee environmentally friendly reprocessing and an active commitment to reducing our CO2 footprint
We offer this service for all uncoated and coated tungsten carbide parts, such as sections, used tools such as drills, cutters, reamers and wearing components.
Get in touch with us to find out about the benefits our 360° service can bring you.
