The Carbon Footprint of Metals
From waste to value. From cost to carbon reduction.
That’s the power of NAMS cold briquetting
Decarbonizing Metallurgy Starts Here
The metal industry is responsible for over 8% of global CO₂ emissions — a staggering figure driven primarily by energy-intensive production methods and inefficient waste management practices. As industries face increasing pressure to decarbonize, innovation in material handling and processing has never been more critical.
Eliminate the need for heat or curing
Burn off cleanly
Improve waste-to-emission ratios
Avoid harmful additives
Cold briquetting is a transformative solution.
At NAMS (North American Metal Solutions), we specialize in advanced binder systems that enable cold-pressed briquetting — a low-energy, low-emission technology that redefines how metal waste is processed and reused.
Our proprietary binder systems are designed to:
- Eliminate the need for heat or curing during briquette formation, drastically reducing energy consumption.
- Burn off cleanly during melting or smelting processes, leaving minimal residue and avoiding contamination.
- Improve waste-to-emission ratios, by converting fine powders and residues into usable feedstock with minimal environmental footprint.
Avoid harmful additives such as cement, lime, or molasses, which are energy-intensive, introduce impurities, or complicate downstream metallurgy.
By turning industrial waste into high-value briquettes without added energy input, we help our clients:
- Lower operating costs
- Streamline recycling and material handling
- Reduce carbon emissions
- Enhance sustainability performance
Whether you’re processing iron, aluminum, stainless, or other non-ferrous materials, NAMS is your partner in building cleaner, more efficient metal supply chains — without compromising on strength, quality, or metallurgical performance.
