Reusing and recycling scrap metal

At St Clare Engineering, sustainability is at the heart of our manufacturing practices and key to this is minimising waste and maximising resource utilisation in the production of our drum handling forklift truck attachments.

We use high-quality steel to manufacture our attachments, making best use of every spare piece of metal, then ensure that anything we cannot use is handled safely and sent for recycling

To read more on how we strive to minimise our impact on the environment, from recycling paper to using up every last piece of manufactured steel please visit our website.
