Secure & Sustainable Material Supply

PRIMARY RAW MATERIALS Responsible raw material sourcing

H.C. Starck sources all raw materials exclusively from well-

established, conflict-free suppliers. We work with strict

purchasing policies, such as our approved Responsible

Supply Chain Management (RSCM) System, that ensure

that our raw materials originate from suppliers who comply

with strict environmental protection requirements, observe

occupational health and safety regulations and show social

responsibility.

Furthermore, H.C. Starck processes only raw materials from

conflict-free sources. We fully support the position of the

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

Our raw material supply strategy rests on two pillars: Exclusive sourcing from well-established, conflict-free suppliers and the continuous expansion of our recycling activities.

(OECD) to avoid the use of ores and metals that finance or

benefit armed groups. Plus, as a founding member of the

Tungsten Industry Conflict Minerals Council (TI-CMC), we

contribute to implementing a tungsten-specific approach

to meeting customer and statutory requirements of the

Dodd-Frank Act provisions for conflict minerals.

Our joint ventures secure long-term supply

We have also entered into two joint ventures with established,

conflict-free tungsten suppliers in Vietnam and China, that

are important building blocks for the stable supply of primary

raw materials. They further strengthen H.C. Starck’s position

as global tungsten producer and help provide customers with

long-term supply security.

SECURE RAW MATERIAL POSITION

Recycling of tungsten scrap and tungsten-containing production residues preserves both the environment and natural resources and adds to the stability of raw material supplies for our customers.

SECONDARY RAW MATERIALS Conserving the environment and natural resources

At H.C. Starck sustainability is a core element of our

company strategy. As part of our commitment to

sustainable economic management, we have been

recycling tungsten scrap and tungsten-containing

production residues since 1920. Since then, we have been

working and investing continuously to improve our abilities

to process all kinds of raw materials. Consequentially,

recycling is one of our core competencies.

H.C. Starck – your strategic growth partner for recycling

The benefits of recycling for our customers are twofold:

With the ever increasing demand for raw materials, recycling

is a core element to secure the supply of raw materials. This

is particularly true for tungsten, as its supply is limited. Plus,

recycling reduces a company’s exposure to fluctuations

of tungsten raw material prices. Reasons enough for our

customers to have their own tungsten scrap and production

residues converted to new tungsten powders and chemicals

at H.C. Starck.

Our recycling process: the closed loop principle

Based on the “closed loop” principle, almost all our products

and compounds can be recycled after use. Thanks to

innovative tungsten recycling processes, we can recover pure

tungsten and cobalt from both hard and soft tungsten scrap.

This includes for instance worn out inserts, drills, chisels,

alloys, NiW catalysts and production & processing residues

such as dry powders or sludges.

Thanks to the H.C. Starck “closed loop” recycling process,

products can be tracked from cradle to grave. Even after the

recycling process, all of our tungsten products have one thing

in common: they perform just as well as they did before, a

benefit with a true added value for our customers.

Typical scraps used for recycling:

> Inserts, tips, cutting tools

> Drills

> Drill bits / heads for oil- and gas drilling

> Morgan rolls

> Mining bits

> Wear parts

> Swarf, turnings, shavings, borings

> Grinding residues

> Spent NiW catalysts

TUNGSTEN CLOSED-LOOP RECYCLING AT H.C. STARCK

The Nui Phao mine is one of the largest tungsten deposits

outside of China. As such, our joint venture with the

Vietnamese Nui Phao Mining Company will ensure the

continuous supply of tungsten chemicals.

Our partner JXTC is one of the largest tungsten mining

companies in China. Thus, our joint venture secures raw

material supply for the production of thousands of tons of

high-quality tungsten products for the Asian market from

early 2014.
