TKM recycles used Log Saw Blades, which has many advantages for the environment. The used Log Saw Blades are collected from the customer and the steel mill uses them to produce the steel for new Log Saw Blades.

In detail: The high-quality D2 steel consists of Iron, a high amount of Chromium as well as Vanadium and Molybdenum.  

The iron is extracted from iron ore with a high Energy consumption. The iron ore comes mainly from South Africa, Brazil and Australia, which means enormous transport distances.
 
The most important chromium, vanadium and molybdenum mines are also located far away from Europe, which means long transport distances as well. The processing into a usable alloy is also complex.

The process of bringing all the components together is therefore too complex to calculate the CO2 emissions and energy consumption per ton of D2 steel in detail. However, it is very easy to understand that a ton of used Log Saw Blades, which already contains all the components, is in comparison much more ecological and energy / CO2 saving.
