Outokumpu, a pioneer in sustainable stainless steel, and Grundfos, a Danish company leading in advanced pump and water solutions, are kicking off a new collaboration on green steel. The vast majority of Grundfos’ standard material supplied by Outokumpu will be changed into Outokumpu Circle Green®, stainless steel with up to 93% lower carbon footprint compared to the global industry average. The partnership supports Grundfos’ climate targets and contributes to Europe’s ambitious goal of becoming decarbonized by 2050.
Grundfos develops advanced pump solutions and water technologies that improve water efficiency and reduce water waste. Energy-efficient pumps minimize water and energy consumption, and wastewater treatment technologies support water recycling and reuse. These solutions need low-emission materials, such as stainless steel, to support the green transition efforts.
Outokumpu Circle Green® was the first innovation of its kind on a global scale with such a low carbon footprint and with a product-specific footprint calculation for every delivery. Currently, more than 40 leading companies from various industry sectors in Europe and Asia are using this solution to reduce their carbon footprint.
