Engineers from Igus, a manufacturer of technical products from high-performance plastics, are now using a simple, in-house technology for heat recovery. It uses the waste heat from machinery to heat factories and industrial units, saving energy costs and CO2 emissions. The company is making the details of the technology available online, for free. If all injection moulders worldwide were to use this technology, Igus calculates it could save over 1 million tons of CO2 and more than 548 million m3 of gas.According to the company’s calculations, the saving corresponds to the annual gas consumption of 238,434 four-person households.
