In the past, industry was based on a linear economic model: the extraction of raw materials enabled the production of a good, and its use by a consumer.
At the end of the cycle, the product reached the point of obsolescence, whether programmed or not, and became waste.

There were two alternatives: landfill or incineration, with possible heat recovery if the energy was recycled.
These negative externalities persisted for a long time, before environmental issues were brought to the forefront of the various industrial sectors.

Already underway with the government’s Relance plan, corporate decarbonization is a new growth model.
With sustainable development objectives becoming a major concern, companies are faced with new challenges in reducing their carbon footprint. :

• Reduce their greenhouse gas emissions;
• Control energy costs;
• Working to preserve resources and virgin materials;
• Limit climate change through these actions;
• Added-value environmental impact.

The circular economy thus appears to be a more sustainable model, considering the end-of-life of a product/material as an opportunity for new creation, as a resource to be re-exploited and re-injected into a process.
In this way, maintenance services, the re-use of parts from partially degraded industrial equipment, product reconditioning and metal recycling all contribute to giving products a second life.
Better still, eco-design makes it possible to consider the entire life cycle of a product, from its construction to its future reuse or recycling.

Minimizing major items of expenditure, boosting responsiveness, engaging in innovative, collaborative strategies: these are just some of the advantages of including a circular economy in industrial processes.

Economic benefits

Considering that raw materials and components account for 40-60% of a manufacturing company’s basic costs in Europe, it’s easy to understand the financial benefits to be gained from a virtuous circular loop that reduces the purchase of new raw materials.
As primary resources are subject to finite supply, their cost varies according to demand, unlike recycled materials, an alternative source to be developed.
The fact that they are often competitively priced makes their use all the more attractive.

In so doing, the industry frees itself from a relative dependence on materials sourced on the other side of the planet.
Why go thousands of kilometers to find what can be found much more locally, through specific re-use channels?
By the same token, transport costs and the associated carbon footprint are considerably reduced.

In addition, industries can benefit financially from the resale or reuse of their waste.
For example, the collection of inoperative or new unused equipment (from old stock) can be an additional source of income.

Reduce the cost of processing and recycling industrial waste by rehabilitating your equipment?
That’s another advantage of the circular economy.

Integrating more environmentally-friendly equipment is a way of securing regular, high-quality supplies, while minimizing the risks associated with international purchasing, transport and delivery times.

What’s more, the selection of industrial equipment from old or reconditioned stock significantly increases the product’s lifespan and reduces waste.
In the event of a breakdown, the replacement of a single part may be all that’s needed to get the equipment up and running again, at limited cost.

New solutions in industrial waste recycling engineering, reverse engineering and maintenance are generating new skilled local jobs and attracting new talent.
The creation of one job in the landfill sector is equivalent to the creation of four jobs in the recycling sector.
When the circular economy fully embraces its societal role…

Always being on the lookout for innovation is an asset for your company, as is staying one step ahead of environmental constraints.
In fact, giving your equipment a second life calls for reverse-engineering skills that stimulate your company’s innovation.

It also enables you to comply with regulations in line with energy and ecological transition objectives, and even anticipate future legislation impacting your business sector.
