MORE DETAILS ON HOW WE RECYCLE STEEL AT VICTORINOX: All the steel we use – the most important raw material in the manufacture of our knives – is 95% recycled. Around 600 tons of grinding sludge is then produced as a by- product in the processing of that steel. In order to ensure that this by-product can be disposed of properly, Victorinox has developed recycling facilities that are unique within the industry. The water contained in the sludge is absorbed and the steel particles are pressed into briquettes so they can be properly recycled.
