Seco Recycling Program

Posted in Programs in June 2017

What is it?

The Seco Used Carbide Recycling Program is designed to demonstrate our commitment to our customers to deliver winning solutions that encourage a cleaner environment and a safer workplace, support sustainable processes and generate a return for the customer.

Seco will recycle any carbide such as bars and anvils, but no steel, ceramic or cermet. We accept any amount of carbide from any manufacturer. The price depends on the market and the total payment is based on used carbide price at the time of receipt by Seco.

How does it work?

The Seco Used Carbide Recycling Program is easy to use! Just contact our customer service department to request a return document. The RMA form will include DHL contact information. Simply call DHL to schedule pick up of the used carbide at any chosen location and they will bring it back to us. Upon return, the used carbide will be sorted and weighed and you will be paid by check. We will cover all transportation costs. Seco will also supply you with containers for collecting and shipping used carbide – free!

What can be recycled? Used cemented carbide products: inserts, solid drills, solid end mills, PCD and PCBN tipped inserts, and wear parts. What can't be recycled? Solid PCD, Solid PCBN, Cermets, and Ceramics.
