DO NOT SCRAP! REUSE IS ECO-FRIENDLY.
Before demolishing the factory: Give your machinery a new life!
We buy and dismantle industry
machinery for
reuse. The responsible circular
economy of industrial machines guarantees the smallest carbon footprint.

Emissions / 1000 kg
Scrapping electric motor vs Reuse
| Emission | Reusing Motor | Scrapping Motor |
|---|---|---|
| NOx (kg) | 0.6 – 0.7 | 1.0 – 2.5 |
| SOx (kg) | 0.01 – 0.05 | 0.1 – 0.5 |
| NMVOC (kg) | 0.05 – 0.1 | 0.1 – 0.5 |
| NH₃ (kg) | 0.001 – 0.005 | 0.01 – 0.1 |
Conclusion
- NOx: Reusing the motor results in approximately 1.4 to 3.6 times lower NOx emissions compared to scrapping it.
- SOx: Reusing the motor results in 2 to 50 times lower SOx emissions.
- NMVOC: Reusing the motor results in approximately 1 to 10 times lower NMVOC emissions.
- NH₃: Reusing the motor results in 2 to 20 times lower NH₃ emissions.
Key Takeaway:
Reusing an old motor is significantly more environmentally friendly than simply scrapping it. Even though scrapping does involve recycling, which has lower environmental impact than manufacturing from virgin materials, it still generates more emissions compared to reusing the motor. Reuse results in a lower carbon footprint and emissions across all major pollutants, emphasizing the benefits of extending the life of existing equipment rather than dismantling it for recycling.
New motor of recycled material vs Reuse
| Emission | Reusing Motor | Recycling & Manufacturing New Motor |
|---|---|---|
| NOx (kg) | 0.6 – 0.7 | 2.0 – 5.5 |
| SOx (kg) | 0.01 – 0.05 | 0.3 – 1.3 |
| NMVOC (kg) | 0.05 – 0.1 | 0.3 – 1.2 |
| NH₃ (kg) | 0.001 – 0.005 | 0.03 – 0.25 |
Conclusion
- NOx: Reusing the motor results in 3 to 8 times lower NOx emissions compared to recycling and manufacturing a new motor.
- SOx: Reusing the motor results in significantly lower SOx emissions, about 6 to 26 times lower.
- NMVOC: Reusing the motor results in 3 to 12 times lower NMVOC emissions.
- NH₃: Reusing the motor results in 6 to 50 times lower NH₃ emissions.
Key Takeaway:
Reusing an old motor is significantly more environmentally friendly across all measured pollutants (NOx, SOx, NMVOC, NH₃) compared to recycling the materials and manufacturing a new motor. This highlights the substantial environmental benefits of refurbishing and reusing existing equipment rather than creating new products, even when the new products are made from recycled materials.
Our Values
Ethical operating model
We undertake not to sell the machines and equipment we purchase to any country subject to an international trade embargo or sanction. We also do not sell goods to a company that has violated or evaded international trade embargoes or sanctions.
When we resell the machines, we also require insurance from our buyers about compliance with sanctions and embargoes.
We understand the importance of complying with legal and ethical standards in international trade. We are fully committed to complying with these regulations.
Following these principles, we strive to promote international peace, and security and conduct our business by the highest ethical standards.
Don't scrap - Reuse
We reuse electric motors, gearbox motors, pumps, valves, bearings, frequency converters, hydraulics, transformers, generators and subassemblies.
