It reduces the amount of tungsten required from mining. Tungsten is a finite and scarce mineral (its reserves at current consumption are estimated at 100 years).

Tungsten carbide recycling implies having a safe resource as it is classified as a mineral used in war conflicts, which implies that it must be traceable.

The recycling process uses 70% less energy and emits 40% less carbon dioxide than production with virgin materials.

It decreases the amount of waste.

It reduces costs by giving away used carbide parts, while taking their value on account of new parts.

These solid wastes are no longer accumulated by customers or stockpiled as disused scrap.
