Great Solutions to Help the Great Outdoors

The environment.

It's on our minds, in the news, everywhere. And it should be. Keeping the environment clean and safe is a commitment we all should make. But what can manufacturers do to keep that commitment to the great outdoors?

At Kennametal, we address that commitment at nearly every step of the automotive manufacturing process with a full line of sustainable solutions.

Every step is focused on how it will impact the environment and how it can be improved. Our proprietary processing removes impurities from raw materials that might otherwise be discarded. We refine specialty metals to perfection so there is no waste.

We've refined our surface treatments to address friction control, wear protection, and fuel efficiency... all subtle enhancements that can pay off big for the environment in terms of fuel efficiency and longer part life.

We touch every part of the automotive manufacturing process. Want to learn how we can help your manufacturing processes to help the environment? Our Automotive Sustainable Solutions brochure will show you a full range of solutions.

Good to see that US manufacturing cares for the enviroment. Does the big K also recycle carbide? Do you purchase scrap back? Do you reclaim and reprocess for your own use?
Thanks,

Absolutely, Kennametal recycles carbide. In fact, all the used carbide we receive through our buy-back program or from regular scrap purchases is converted into raw material for other products or finished product. All the carbide handled by Kennametal or our subcontractors is done in an environmentally acceptable way.

Call our carbide recycling program at 1-ton-carbide (1-866-227-2433); email us at usa.toncarbide@kennametal.com; or visit our website at www.kennametal.com/carbiderecycling
