Stainless steel makes up 69% of an industrial food processor, which makes material value an important part of the circular case. A high share of durable metal means that recovery, reuse and lifetime extension can protect substantial embedded value.
The insight is not only about recycling. If the machine or its components can remain in use for longer, the value of the stainless steel and the production effort behind it is retained at a higher level. That supports refurbishment, resale and responsible material recovery.
