Scope Design developed a new way to create products from metal waste, without first melting the metal particles. The process is still in full development , but in the meantime has produced the first concrete results. The innovative metal composite contributes to the circularity of materials and sustainable production , because it saves the energy for fusing and transport to and from the smelters.
The linear approach to producing goods results in huge mountains of waste , plastic soup in the oceans and scarcity of certain raw materials. Scope Design sees it as one of its tasks to make designs as sustainable as possible, in use and production . During a working visit to HKS Scrap Metals in Amersfoort, we were inspired to do more with metal.
Collection is normally done material made of metal sorted, grind and then molten to to come to new metal to be used. This process saves admittedly mining new ones commodities, but requires a lot of energy in processing and transport. Scope Design searched for a way on more sustainable way reusable metal and found the answer RAW METAL.
RAW METALS is a metal composite that is made without melting. The raw materials are collected 'around the corner' at the HKS Scrap Metals in Amersfoort. With RAW METALS we are currently conducting all kinds of tests according to the 'trial and error' method . We investigate how the material reacts to turning, milling, tapping, sandblasting and polishing. We want to know where we can use the new material, for example, we think of interior accessories like hooks and doorknobs, bicycle parts or toys. The first product samples will be ready soon!
