Höganäs and Porite partner for sustainable near-zero sponge iron powder
March 10, 2025
Porite Taiwan Co., Ltd., Zhunan, Taiwan, and Sweden’s Höganäs AB have announced a strategic partnership in an effort to advance sustainable manufacturing practices. Under the agreement, Höganäs will supply Porite with its newly developed near-zero sponge iron powder, a product designed to achieve minimal carbon emissions during its production and lifecycle. The powder range is planned to gradually replace the standard sponge iron powders currently purchased by Porite from Höganäs.
“We are excited to partner with Porite in this ground-breaking initiative. Our near-zero sponge iron powder represents a significant step towards sustainable manufacturing, and we are proud to support Porite in their commitment to reducing carbon emissions,” stated Andreas Jähnke, Powder Metallurgy Technologies President, Höganäs.
Höganäs’s process for industrial-scale production of near-zero sponge iron powder is said to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. The near-zero sponge iron powder will meet the same high specifications and stringent quality standards that Porite currently requires, ensuring no compromise in performance or reliability.
“Porite is dedicated to integrating sustainable practices into our operations. This partnership with Höganäs aligns with our goals of innovation and environmental responsibility. We look forward to the benefits this collaboration will bring,” said CL Chu, General Manager of Porite Taiwan.
