This approach aims to transform our linear industrial production model into a circular one, where consumables are derived from the recycling of production waste. Waste, collected and valorized by patented technologies, becomes a resource.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The circular economy is based on three main principles that structure our approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Reduction and optimization of resources:<\/strong> We optimize the use of raw materials in our production lines to limit waste and reduce raw material consumption. This is made possible by state-of-the-art technology and automation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.Recycling and recovery of waste:<\/strong> In a circular model, waste becomes a valuable resource to be reused. We have set up recycling processes for production waste at our liquid nitriding plants. By using recycled consumables, we limit our dependence on mining resources. In our vacuum deposition business, we send end-of-life targets to a special recycling facility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.Eco-design:<\/strong> We are working on the eco-design of our circular economy processes to minimize their environmental impact. The Life Cycle Assessment comparing the linear and circular models for nitriding treatments will enable us to identify priority areas of work. This Life Cycle Assessment has been carried out with all the HEF Group&#8217;s business units; its appropriation of this tool at all levels will make it an important decision-making tool for the Group&#8217;s future choices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this transformation, we are placing sustainability at the heart of our operations, demonstrating that it is possible to reconcile industrial performance with environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n\t        <div class=\"ax-textandimg-medias-container\">\n\t            \t                \t                    <div class=\"ax-textandimg-video video-youtube\">\n\t                        <p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"L\u2019\u00e9conomie circulaire dans nos processus de production\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ipDojS6SEnw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\t                    <\/div>\n\t                                    \t            \n\t\t        \t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"axblock-textandimg blue-bg\">\n    <div class=\"ax-textandimg\">\n        <div class=\"container ax-textandimg-container content-left \">\n            <div class=\"ax-textandimg-content\" style=\"--numberColumns: 1\">\n                                    <h2 class=\"ax-title3\">Dive into HEF Group&#8217;s commitment to sustainability!\ud83e\udd1d <\/h2>\n                                                    <div class=\"text-content\">\n                        <p>Our new article highlights two key methods for quantifying our environmental impacts.<br \/>\nFind out how HEF Group is committed to measuring its emissions and optimizing its processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curious to find out more about our concrete actions and their impact? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to explore our article!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"btn-textandimg\">\n                                            <a class=\"btn btn-gradient-second btn-block-textandimg\"\n                           href=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/en\/quantifying-environmental-impact\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t   target=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t   \tLearn more \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n                                                        <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n\t        <div class=\"ax-textandimg-medias-container\">\n\t            \t                \t                    <div class=\"ax-textandimg-img cover\">\n\t                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/iStock-1439233335-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t                    <\/div>\n\t                                    \t            \n\t\t        \t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11253","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
