Recycled stainless steel is an important step towards a more eco-design. Choosing recycled stainless steel allows to considerably reduce the environmental impact of the raw material’s manufacturing process.
By avoiding the impact of the extraction, mineral transport, and the energy consumption required to produce virgin material, carbon emissions from stainless steel manufacturing are reduced by 58% (SIRSA estimate, based on Qwetch’s 2020 Carbon Footprint). The stainless steel used for Qwetch products is manufactured according to the Recycled Claim Standard 2.0 and contains 90% recycled material.
