The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while driving the transition to a more circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership with Boliden forms an integral part of ABB\u2019s strategic ambition to reduce the environmental impact of raw materials used in its products by replacing them with lower carbon alternatives. Apart from using recycled copper, ABB has committed to increase the use of recycled electric steel (e-steel) and recycled aluminum. The move is also an important step in closing the circularity loop that has already seen ABB designing its motors to be up to 98 percent recyclable, with the remaining two percent of materials available to be incinerated for heat recovery. Recycling copper, aluminum and steel offers energy savings of between 75 and 95 percent compared to virgin production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a part of ABB&#8217;s 2030 sustainability strategy, our target is for 80 percent of our products and solutions to be covered by a circularity approach. The work with Boliden is an important step towards this goal,\u201d said Ola Nor\u00e9n, Head of Metallurgy Products, Process Industries, ABB. \u201cBy taking stock of the delivery by the end of this year we\u2019ll ensure that all our metallurgy products use recycled hollow copper conductors from 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to enable a more sustainable and resource-efficient future, and with this collaboration our customers can not only decarbonize by upgrading to energy efficient motors but will also be able to install ABB technology that has an improved environmental footprint thanks to Boliden\u2019s copper,\u201d said Ulf Hellstrom, Managing Director at ABB Motion, Sweden. \u201cThis is an excellent example of the circular economy in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The co-operation includes ABB placing the first order for Boliden\u2019s certified recycled copper through Finnish metals manufacturing specialist Luvata. Hollow conductor wire made from the material will be used in ABB\u2019s EMS products for both steel and aluminum manufacturing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, as of 2023, ABB will purchase Boliden\u2019s low-carbon and recycled copper to cover the demand for its IE5 Ultra-Premium Efficiency SynRM and e-mobility motors produced in Europe. The two companies have also signed a memorandum of understanding that will see ABB supporting Boliden in identifying inefficient low-voltage motors across its operating units. These motors can then be replaced with high efficiency motors within ABB\u2019s take back upcycling framework, with the old motors recycled to provide raw material for Boliden\u2019s recycled copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copper is a vital material for manufacturing industrial electrical equipment, but its production is energy intensive. To address this, Boliden has developed low-carbon copper that is mined using fossil-free energy and also produces copper using secondary raw material from recycled products. The carbon footprint of these products is 65 percent lower than the industry average. A typical 75-kilowatt (kW) motor weighing 650 kg might include 80 kg of copper. Using Boliden\u2019s copper saves approximately 200 kg of CO\u2082 emissions for every one of these motors manufactured. Each stirrer has up to 2,700 kg of copper, saving up to 6,700 kg of CO2 per stirrer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.abb.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABB to use Boliden\u2019s certified recycled and low-carbon copper in electric motors and electromagnetic stirring technologies Move supports ABB\u2019s target of at least 80 percent of its products and solutions taking a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":50224,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1156],"tags":[1497,1241,990,867],"class_list":["post-50223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-technology","tag-carbon","tag-environmental","tag-recycle","tag-recycling"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
