Walter Tools' recycling service closes the material loop
Tungsten carbide is a key raw material for the industry, but at the same time, it is a limited and valuable natural resource. Walter Tools offers its customers a recycling service that enables used tools to be returned to production. Through this service, the material cycle is closed and new tools are manufactured from the same raw materials. This solution supports sustainable development and reduces the need for newly mined tungsten carbide.
The Walter recycling service is a complete package that allows customers to get everything from a single provider. The tools are collected and processed in a certified, transparent process that follows high quality and ethical standards. This way, customers can be sure that their used drills, milling cutters, and indexable inserts are not wasted but are fully returned to new production. At the same time, recycling promotes responsible sourcing of raw materials and gives peace of mind knowing that materials are handled within the manufacturer’s own quality chain.
The service has been designed to be as easy to use as possible. Customers can order a Walter Tools recycling bin through Camcut, download a shipping label, and book a pick-up. The recycling bin is delivered free of charge, and once it is full, Camcut arranges for complimentary transportation. The contents are weighed and inspected, after which the customer receives a credit for it.
The recycling service is currently available for solid carbide drills, milling cutters, and indexable inserts, both coated and uncoated. From the customer’s perspective, the service works like a “self-regulating cycle”: once the container is in place, it fills up as production progresses, and Walter takes care of the rest. This means companies don’t need to allocate additional resources to organizing recycling, as the solution integrates seamlessly into normal operations.
Recycling tungsten carbide offers benefits on many levels. It reduces the mining of raw materials and lowers energy consumption, which is also reflected in decreased CO₂ emissions. Customers have peace of mind knowing their tools won’t end up as waste, but are turned into new products that meet the manufacturer’s quality standards. This creates a closed-loop cycle that combines economic, environmental, and practical benefits.
Camcut is the official distributor of Walter Tools in Finland and now also offers this recycling service to its customers. Together with Walter Tools, Camcut helps companies close the material loop and adopt a responsible solution that works in practice.
