Keeping critical metals in the cycle is not a trend - it's a real value proposition.

Seamlessly interlinked services make Stadler a strong partner for your metal cycle.

Critical metals such as tungsten, nickel and cobalt are the backbone of modern high-tech industries - from precision tools and e-mobility to aerospace. However, their primary extraction consumes enormous amounts of energy, causes high CO₂ emissions and creates geopolitical dependencies. If we recover these metals from production residues, rejects or grinding sludge instead, the benefits are threefold:

Secure resources - reduce costs

Recycling saves up to 90 % energy compared to ore mining and at the same time reduces the purchase of raw materials: one kilogram of recycled tungsten costs significantly less than freshly mined tungsten - with identical quality.

Stabilize supply - strengthen independence

Every closed material cycle relieves the global raw materials market. Companies become less susceptible to price fluctuations or export restrictions and create a reliable basis for predictable growth.

Protecting the climate - securing the future

Valuable elements remain in the European economic cycle - an active contribution to protecting the resources of future generations.

Analysis

Laboratory tested. Transparently evaluated.

We carry out spectral analyses and material tests in our own laboratory, document each batch in full and thus create the basis for fair, comprehensible pricing.
