[SMM Tungsten Express] Ceratizit reported that its tungsten supply chain is predominantly based on recycled feedstock, achieving a 91% recycling rate in fiscal 2024/25. Through closed-loop recycling, long-term offtake agreements and a strategic investment in Almonty, the company has built a tungsten raw material system independent of Chinese supply. Its GTP unit operates advanced recycling facilities in the US and Finland, processing tungsten scrap into carbide powder. The circular economy model aims to secure supply for customers while reducing carbon footprint.
