Continuum Powders has officially opened a new global headquarters and environmentally friendly manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. This new location is about setting a new benchmark for sustainable manufacturing.
The term “green facility”, at Continuum Powders, represents a real commitment to minimising its environmental impact across all aspects of its operations. The new Houston facility is North America’s major sustainable metal powder production site, but what truly makes it stand out is how it operates—leveraging technology, partnerships, and design to reduce carbon emissions and foster efficient, low-impact production.
This facility is the lowest-emission powder production sites worldwide. By integrating renewable energy sources into its operations, it significantly reduces its carbon footprint. Its low-emission gas systems further support its sustainability goals, reinforcing its commitment to decarbonising the manufacturing sector.
The proprietary Greyhound M2P (melt-to-powder) plasma atomisation process is also a major differentiator in efficiency and sustainability. This technology allows it to transform alloyed metal waste into high-quality powders in a single step, cutting down on transportation, handling, and energy-intensive operations. By streamlining this process, it reduces emissions and conserves valuable resources, minimising the need for new mining activities.
