Hear us out: What if we thought about waste as a resource, instead of a cost? We know it sounds a bit strange at first. But at Globe Metal, turning waste into usable resources is kind of our thing. We take materials that would otherwise be considered waste, and turn them into something useful- locally, and globally, through our vast network of international partners. That’s because we believe strongly in the circular economy – a model of production and consumption that involves reusing, repurposing, and recycling existing materials as long as possible, extending their lifecycle, and reducing o ..read more

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is trending and revolutionizing the world of manufacturing, and Globe Metal® is helping reduce the environmental (and financial) impact with our hazardous waste services. Globe Metal® has been servicing traditional industrial manufacturing accounts for over 40 years, however, with the shift from conventional metal manufacturing, such as machining and progressive stamping, to high-speed laser cutting and additive manufacturing, we have begun working more and more with Additive Manufacturing companies. These companies are producing parts for a number of industries, in ..read more

Globe Metal is excited to be attending RAPID + TCT 2023, North America’s largest and most influential additive manufacturing event, taking place May 2-4 in Chicago, Illinois. What is Additive Manufacturing? 3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) are terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings. 3D printing is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file using a printer that adds material layer by layer until the object is complete. The printer creates the object by melting, depositing, or solidifying a material, such as plasti ..read more

As the defense industry works to be more environmentally friendly, metal recycling is becoming more and more important – and Globe Metal® is there to help. New ways to use recycled metals in planes, tanks, jets, and other products are becoming more popular – so it’s important for us to both buy and sell metals like tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and nickel. Because of the risk of live ammunition and explosives, metals recycled from the defense industry go through a rigorous screening process before being turned over to Globe Metal®, and we follow strict internal procedures for handling and in ..read more

With vaccines being rolled out worldwide and the aerospace industry ramping back up after a COVID lockdown, we’re seeing titanium market conditions improve – in other words, prices of titanium scrap are increasing! 90% of titanium used is consumed by the aerospace industry, so when the global aviation industry stopped flying in April 2020, titanium use dropped, and therefore prices dropped dramatically. Many products were experiencing multi-year lows by the third quarter of 2020. However, now that the aerospace industry is re-opening and titanium requirements are rising again, we’re seeing a r ..read more
