EOS aluminium alloy powder now from 100% recycled feedstock
March 3, 2025
EOS GmbH, headquarted in Krailling, Germany, has announced that one of its most popular metal powders, EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg, is now produced with 100% recycled feedstock.
The company reported that increasing the recycled content to 100% has resulted in a 77% CO2e reduction from the prior material, and it now achieves an 83% CO2e reduction compared to AlSi10Mg made from 100% virgin raw material.
EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg was first added to EOS’ Responsible Products portfolio in April 2024 when it began incorporating 30% recycled feedstock, achieving a 25% CO2e reduction. While EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg now employs 100% recycled feedstock, the resulting material maintains the same properties, characteristics and performance in additively manufactured parts, ensuring existing customers do not need to requalify applications.
“We’re proud to have developed our first EOS metal material made with 100% recycled feedstock and to have achieved so much in less than a year. We will continue to explore ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our customers’ applications with every EOS product – from materials and hardware to design optimisation – they all add up to a more responsible end-use product for our customers and the climate,” stated Sophia Heyl, product specialist at EOS.
Björn Hannappel, head of sustainability at EOS, added, “We are continuing our path towards Responsible Manufacturing and expanding our portfolio of Responsible Products stepwise. By minimising waste, reducing the environmental footprint and prioritising eco-friendly materials, organisations can both protect our planet and create a more efficient and resilient business model.”
