A study by Oregon State University confirms Continuum Powders’ metal recycling technology reduces carbon emissions by 99.7% compared to traditional methods. The M2P technology converts scrap material into high-quality metal powder without additional processing, significantly lowering energy consumption. This breakthrough sets a new standard for sustainable metal powder manufacturing.

Nickel powder is crucial for aerospace, energy, and defense industries, but traditional production methods contribute to high carbon emissions. Continuum Powders’ Greyhound M2P process directly converts scrap material into high-quality powder, reducing energy consumption. By using 100% recycled nickel feedstock, carbon emissions were cut by 99.7%, showcasing a more sustainable approach.

Continuum Powders’ Chief Technology Officer, Sunil Badwe, emphasizes the importance of sustainable manufacturing. Transitioning from virgin to recycled metal feedstocks proves sustainability can align with high-performance manufacturing. The LCA study validates Continuum’s commitment to reducing emissions and delivering quality powder solutions, making their manufacturing process the most environmentally sustainable available.

Researchers at Oregon State University highlight how advanced technologies can improve sustainability in metal production. Sustainable metal powders are essential for reducing the environmental impact of products made through advanced additive manufacturing methods. Advanced recycling technologies, like Continuum Powders’ approach, are crucial for driving meaningful environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable manufacturing economy.

As industries focus on reducing carbon emissions, the study underscores the significance of sustainable manufacturing solutions. Metal powders produced from recycled feedstock can help cut emissions, enhance supply chain resilience, and reduce dependency on raw materials. Continuum Powders leads the way in sustainable metal powders and remains committed to advancing sustainability in manufacturing through innovative technology and partnerships.
