Driving net-zero and environmentally friendly manufacturing

Building on the success of the 2024 pilot, Seco is expanding its Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) models for products like stationary turning tools and solid end mills. These enhanced models will provide customers with CO2 emissions data, use-phase estimates, and insights into the benefits of circular services like recycling and reconditioning. Results will be integrated into Seco’s website and service portals as they become available.

Additionally, Seco’s Cutting Data Engine will soon enable users to calculate CO2 emissions based on estimated power consumption, offering practical tools to optimize the environmental impact of machining processes. Sustainability assessments will also be available, helping customers evaluate process changes for reduced carbon emissions.

Seco offers expert sustainability assessments to help customers optimize their machining processes and reduce carbon emissions. Key initiatives include integrating sustainability savings into test reports and functionality tests conducted with Seco, available upon request. Additionally, Seco will transform its successful internal sustainability assessments, originally developed for its own manufacturing sites, into a digital, adaptable service, which customers can utilize to assess sustainability maturity.

Advancing responsible business practices
Seco is strengthening its commitment to ethical sourcing through its annual conflict minerals and cobalt due diligence exercise, ensuring supplier adherence to OECD Due Diligence Guidance. In 2025, greater emphasis will be placed on ensuring compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Health and safety
At Seco, health and safety remain a top priority, with proactive incident prevention measures, enhanced training programs, and a focus on global risk reduction. Additionally, Seco will launch an internal wellness program promoting physical and mental health for employees.

Circular solutions for a sustainable future
Seco’s newly digitalized Customer Recycling Program simplifies the process of returning used carbide tools. Customers can now access a self-service portal to request quotes, order recycling containers, and track shipments, with the added benefit of monitoring CO₂ savings. This service is currently available in select markets and will expand to additional regions throughout 2025.

With these initiatives, Seco reaffirms its dedication to sustainability, innovation, and responsible business, setting a strong foundation for its customers and partners in the year ahead.
