Carbon emission payback time
By upgrading to advanced wear-resistant steel, it will be possible to quickly compensate for the carbon emissions from steel production during the use of the product.
And once the break-even point has been reached, the application will continue to deliver carbon savings amounting to many times the original carbon debt.
The carbon emission payback time for a bucket is the time until the CO2 savings during the use-phase of the excavator or loader have become as big as the emission from the steel production of the upgraded bucket.
