Sustainable Metal Recycling Enhances Supply Chain Efficiency
Continuum Powders has successfully recycled 16,182 kilograms of nickel scrap from a Siemens Energy facility over the last five months of 2024. This initiative underscores the growing importance of sustainable metal recycling in industrial applications.
Each week, nearly one ton of nickel scrap from Siemens Energy’s power generation services facility in North Carolina was converted into high-quality metal powder. The scrap originated from gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators. The resulting metal powder meets stringent industry standards and is fit for use in aerospace, defense, and energy sectors.
Continuum Powders utilized its proprietary Greyhound M2P plasma atomization process to transform the scrap into reusable material. This method significantly reduces energy consumption, transportation costs, and material handling, offering a more cost-effective and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional recycling techniques.
“This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Rob Higby, CEO of Continuum Powders. “By prioritizing efficient recycling and high-quality production, we are helping industry leaders reduce their environmental impact and build supply chain resiliency.”
Rich Voorberg, President of Siemens Energy in North America, emphasized the significance of circular manufacturing. “Our goal is to recycle scrap materials into high-quality metal powders for reuse in additive manufacturing because when we minimize waste and boost circular manufacturing, it makes us a stronger player in the energy sector.”
This collaboration between Continuum Powders and Siemens Energy demonstrates how advanced recycling processes can support sustainability efforts while strengthening industrial supply chains.
