Case Study: Moxba-Metrex cuts FeMoNi carbon footprint by 85% with Ecochain

Moxba-Metrex cuts FeMoNi carbon footprint by 85% with Ecochain

Ecochain's customer, Moxba-Metrex, a global specialist in recycling metal-containing waste, faced a significant barrier from its customers in the stainless steel industry. These customers were hesitant to use secondary (recycled) materials due to questions about sustainability, quality, and cost-effectiveness. To convince the industry to switch from primary to secondary materials, Moxba-Metrex partnered with vendor Ecochain to quantify the environmental benefits using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted in Ecochain's LCA automation solution, Helix.

The LCA conducted by Ecochain compared the footprint of secondary FeMoNi against its primary equivalent. The results showed that the secondary material had an 85% lower carbon footprint. This compelling data allowed Moxba-Metrex to demonstrate the clear environmental advantage of its products. Furthermore, the analysis identified key impact hotspots within their own process, providing a roadmap for future improvements, and also highlighted the cost-effectiveness of using secondary materials.
