RECYCLED COOKWARE: WHAT AND HOW?
Wondering if recycled products can match the performance of their non-recycled alternatives? Want to know more about the composition or concered about their safety? Curious why recycled products often seem more expensive?
> WHAT ARE RECYCLED PRODUCTS MADE OF?
Recycled products are made with manufacturing discard or end-consumer waste. Recycling manufacturers are certified to ensure trackability and to verify recycled content. The percentage of recycled content can vary from order to order, depending on the availability on the market. At BergHOFF, our recycled plastic products contain at least 20% recycled content and our recycled metal cookware (stainless steel or aluminum) contain at least 90% recycled end-consumer waste. All meet strict European standards.
> WHAT ABOUT QUALITY?
Collected metal waste is processed by extraction into its basic raw material components, ensuring the same properties, quality, or performance as virgin raw material. These recycled components are the foundations for new metal compositions and alloys, identical to virgin alloys. All monitored according to existing European and International metal standards. Plastic waste is sorted, washed and processed into recyclate pellets. To ensure same properties, quality, or performance as virgin plastic, some additives are added. All monitored the same way as virgin plastics and tested according to strict European standards for food contact.
> WHAT ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY?
Recycling consumes up to 95% less energy compared to mining and the production of raw metal material. Fewer of planet’s resources are used, since mining is excluded. For plastics, there is a significant reduction of waste, fossil resources and CO2 emissions up to 85%.
> WHAT ABOUT COSTS?
Due to the complexity of recycling, the cost of recycled material is still slightly higher than that of virgin material. As recycling will become more efficient and virgin material will Check our video become scarce, the cost difference is likely to disappear.
ELECTROLYSIS SURFACE TREATMENT OR ELECTROPOLISHING
Experience the transformative power of electropolishing – a cutting-edge surface finishing technique. Through electrolytic removal, metal and impurities are meticulously eliminated, ion by ion, unveiling a pristine surface.
Our goal? To minimize micro-roughness, enhancing cleanliness by reducing dirt or residue adherence. The outcome? Surfaces that are not only impeccably clean but also metallurgically pure. Bid farewell to the potential drawbacks of mechanical treatments, as electropolishing avoids or reverses undesirable effects like mechanical and thermal stress.
Here’s the magic: Electropolishing fully taps into the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, ensuring your surfaces stand the test of time. Worried about safety and food compatibility? Fear not – our electrolysis surface treatment is both safe and food approved, ensuring a seamless blend of innovation and reliability.
