Innovation + riktiga uppdrag = framtiden. Under hösten har elever i årskurs 9 i Borlänge fått arbeta med att ta fram nya produkter och lösningar på uppdrag av organisationer och företag i projektet Innovationskraft.
SSAB Borlänge har bidragit med ett av uppdragen. Förra veckan var det dags för redovisning. Hör några av eleverna berätta om sitt förslag.
The unique watch, named Time for Decarbonization, has been created using fossil-free steel powder. After a quick detour to the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 a short while ago, the watch will be launched on December 6.
Epiroc is pioneering a battery-electric underground mine truck prototype made using fossil-free steel from SSAB. The prototype, a Minetruck MT42 Battery, has a dump box made from fossil-free steel. The result will mean a 10-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions per manufactured dump box, the equivalent of taking five gasoline cars off the road for an entire year.
Since switching from SSAB’s Hardox® 450 steel to Hardox® 500 Tuf, M. Torre, a Spanish manufacturer of tipper bodies for the recycling industry, has extended the lifespan of its products without having to alter its processes. The result is a tipper body that is not only between 25 and 30% more durable, but also lighter and more sustainable.
