5. 6 Environmental Behavior at the End of Working Life PhaseThe products designed and produced by Vicinay Cadenas are made to enduredemanding technological requirements and adverse environmental conditions. Theestimated useful life of the product is 20 years. After this time has elapsed we considerthat it can then be fully recycled.REVALUEDSTEEL100%Within the framework of the current study we estimate therecycling of this chain will prevent the emission to air of1,231 Kg eq CO2 and will reduce the necessaryconsumption of 1,050.2 kg of raw materials by which wecreate a positive environmental impact. The recyclingprocess is made up of recovering the chain at the end of itsuseful life giving rise to revalued waste which, whencorrectly selected, can be used to create new steel products for the market, there bytaking advantage of the original steel and beginning, once again, the life-cycle.22/25
6. OTHER COMPANY INFORMATION.Vicinay Cadenas has, for a long time, beenimplementing in its industrial activity improvementsand innovation in its manufacturing process whichhave contributed a more efficient prevention ofpollution and an increased respect for ourenvironment.The new qualities of steel designed specifically for chains and accessories, with anoptimal behavior with respect to erosion and corrosion, have contributed to theelimination of bitumen based finishing paints which were never considered favorable tothe environment.Today, continuing with a highly creative policy of R+D+i in collaboration with prestigioussteel manufacturers, the University of the Basque Country and other TechnologicalCenters, we continue to introduce new materials having chemical compounds anddesign features which push forward the frontiers for mooring the Offshore Industry. Theadvanced operating features of these new materials also reduce the quantity of naturalresources because of a better fatigue endurance and the systematic reduction in theweight of the chain.Vicinay Cadenas stopped using, many years ago, the least favorable energy sources(heavy fuel oil) in its heating and heat treatment processes, moving to natural gaswhich is more eco-friendly in terms of emissions. These fuels are gradually beingreplaced by energy sources which contain a higher degree of renovation which allowsus to use electrical induction techniques in heating processes.Replacing aromatic paints used in the non-destructive inspection phase (paint forcontrast in magnetic particle inspection) with water based paints and the introduction ofspecifically designed eco-friendly products, where possible, has been a constantconcern in the day-to-day running of the company.23/25
