Environmentally Friendly Shot Blasting Services by The Laser Cutting Co.
Shot blasting is considered to be a more environmentally friendly surface preparation method compared to traditional methods such as chemical stripping or sandblasting, as it generates less waste and does not require the use of harmful and non-eco-friendly chemicals; resulting in a significantly reduced environmental impact.
At The Laser Cutting Co., we always endeavour to reduce our environmental footprint wherever possible, and always ensure that any shot particles used on-site are automatically recycled back into the system to avoid unnecessary waste.
