Why Recycle Scrap Tungsten?

The Importance of Tungsten Carbide Recycling

It may be a bit of a surprise to see a metal recycling company asking for a reason why it exists in the first place, but bear with us. China is currently the world’s largest tungsten consumer and producer. Since 2005, they have been increasing imports of tungsten, scrap carbide, and high speed steel while limiting tungsten production. In addition, a 2013 U.S. Geological Survey says that 61% of the world’s estimated tungsten reserves are in the communist country.
