Teräskolmio metal recycling

Teräskolmio and LAPP have collaborated for a long time, focusing on the recycling of cables and other metals. This partnership reflects LAPP's commitment to responsibility and its sustainability goals.

LAPP’s guiding values are also reflected in its choice of partners

LAPP has achieved significant sustainability goals, such as the ISO 45001 certification, which emphasizes occupational safety and health. In addition, the company develops innovative solutions, such as bio-based cable sheath materials that reduce environmental impact. Recycling surplus materials with Teräskolmio complements this sustainability policy, as recycled raw materials return to production.

Efficient and environmentally friendly recycling process

Teräskolmio is responsible for recycling surplus cables and other metals collected from LAPP’s Hyvinkää warehouse. The collaboration has been refined to be efficient and environmentally friendly. Teräskolmio collects and pre-processes the cables, which then move to the granulation process. In the granulation line, copper cables are fed for pre-shredding, after which the shredded material passes through a magnetic separator. The magnetic separator removes ferrous metals from the shredded material. During granulation, the cable sheaths are separated from the copper, resulting in clean recycled copper. The recycled copper is delivered to the copper industry, where it is used to manufacture new cables, following the principles of a closed circular economy.

Long-term partnership

“We have been very satisfied with our long-term cooperation and will continue it with confidence in the future,” says Jarkko Muhonen, Team Leader Logistics, LAPP Automation.

Collaboration with Teräskolmio strengthens LAPP’s goals of promoting responsibility. At the same time, Teräskolmio can take pride in its ability to meet the high expectations of a responsible partner. This partnership serves as an example of how responsible recycling and collaboration can deliver sustainable solutions for the benefit of the environment.
