EOS Achieves New Sustainability Standard - EOS AlSi10Mg Now Produced with 100% Recycled Feedstock

____ TURKU, FINLAND, FEBRUARY 26, 2025

EOS, a global leader of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, services and materials, today announced one of its most popular metal materials, EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg, is now produced with 100% recycled feedstock. Increasing the recycled content to 100% has resulted in a 77% CO2e reduction from the prior material, and it now achieves 83% CO2e reduction compared to AlSi10Mg made from 100% virgin raw material. As one of the world’s largest AM original equipment manufacturers, this is yet another step toward minimizing the climate impact of manufacturing.

EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg was first added to EOS’s Responsible Products portfolio in April 2024 when it began incorporating 30% recycled feedstock, achieving a 25% CO2e reduction. While EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg now employs 100% recycled feedstock, the resulting material maintains the same properties, characteristics and performance in additively manufactured parts, ensuring existing customers do not need to requalify applications.

EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg specifications:

  • Chemical composition standard: AlSi10Mg
  • Ultimate tensile strength: 460 MPa
  • Yield strength: 245 MPa
  • Elongation at break: 5%
  • Good thermal and electrical conductivity with possibility of heat treatment

"We’re proud to have developed our first EOS metal material made with 100% recycled feedstock and to have achieved so much in less than a year. We will continue to explore ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our customers‘ applications with every EOS product – from materials and hardware to design optimization – they all add up to a more responsible end-use product for our customers and the climate.“
Sophia Heyl, product specialist at EOS

Other EOS Responsible Products include:

  • VIRTUCYCLE® Used Polymer Material Take-Back Program takes used polymer material and components with 100% sustainably sourced energy to transform AM powder into recycled high-performance injection molding granules
  • PA 1101 ClimateNeutral polymer materials have 100% proven quality, zero CO2e emissions and are biobased products where all remaining GHG emissions are offset with Gold Standard carbon credits
  • PA 2200 CarbonReduced polymer materials are products where GHG emissions are reduced significantly by suitable measures such as green energy use in the production process
  • Carbon Calculator considers AM project carbon emissions with key cost metrics to provide an estimation of the organization’s AM CO2e emissions and expenses

“We are continuing our path towards Responsible Manufacturing and expanding our portfolio of Responsible Products stepwise. By minimizing waste, reducing the environmental footprint and prioritizing eco-friendly materials, organizations can both protect our planet and create a more efficient and resilient business model.”
Björn Hannappel, head of sustainability at EOS

 

There is no price difference for the new material, and EOS Aluminum AlSi10Mg is available now for purchase through the EOS Store or by contacting the EOS Life Cycle Solutions team.
