How to save CO₂ emissions by buying a pre-owned machine from Foeth?
New process machines are made from raw stainless steel. The production of raw steel consumes a huge amount of energy. Raw steel is made from iron ore in blast furnaces. It can also be made from scrap using electric arc furnaces. Both processes need enormous amounts of enery resulting in large amounts of CO₂ and CH₄ emissions. In addition, the steel casting process into individual machine components is also a very energy intensive process. Finally, the formation of machine parts from steel sheets is less energy intensive, but also adds CO₂ emissions.

Overall, the emissions from the NEW machine manufacturing process are significant. When you buy a pre-owned machine from Foeth instead of a new one, you avoid all these emissions.
