Materials and resource consumption
Materials are the largest environmental factor in metal processing.
TORA works systematically to reduce waste, optimize utilization and document materials throughout all relevant process stages.
Material consumption
- nesting optimization of sheets
- minimization of leftover pieces via digital control
- recirculation of metal remnants
- planning of series to reduce unnecessary setups
- optimization of machining time
Each process is documented so we can follow material consumption over time.
Recycling
All relevant metal types are recycled:
- steel
- stainless steel
- aluminium
- copper
- brass
Metal remnants are sorted, registered and collected for reuse.
This reduces both waste and resource consumption.
