Reducing Our Environmental Impact
Did you know that CR’s Maryborough Foundry manufacturing process is based almost entirely on the recycling of scrap steel in order to produce new world-class high productivity components for use in the global mining industry?
Reducing our environmental impact as possible as possible is a high priority.
CR recovers a significant volume of scrap steel items from its customers and also recovers all waste steel from its manufacturing process. Nothing steel goes to waste reflecting steel’s endless life cycle and value in society.
Over the last 12 months, our Maryborough Foundry produced approximately 1500 tonnes of saleable product that was made 1500 tonnes of waste scrap steel. This represents a positive environmental outcome.
Beyond recycling steel, we also reuse sand for our casting molds.
Lower Carbon Emissions
Our foundry is equipped with electric arc furnaces, which is a lower carbon emission process compared to other steel-making processes.
