Recyclability and reuse
Cast iron is 100 % recyclable without any loss of quality.
At the end of their lives, cast iron products can be melted down and reused to create new objects, limiting waste production and the extraction of new raw materials.
Our production methods are optimized to minimize waste and maximize energy efficiency.
The modern technologies used in our foundries help reduce emissions of CO2 and other pollutants.
For example, the use of electric furnaces in our foundry reduces CO2 emissions by 60 % compared with traditional methods.
Durability and longevity
Cast-iron products are renowned for their sturdiness and longevity.
Unlike other materials, cast iron does not deteriorate easily under the effects of weather or time.
This reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacement of equipment, thus reducing the ecological footprint associated with the manufacturing and transporting of new products.
Cast-iron products have a lifespan of over 100 years, offering a very positive carbon impact on the scale of their longevity.
Our material
The majority of our cast-iron alloys are made from recycled metals.
Today, over 75% of our material comes from recycled sources. With GL cast iron in particular, we are significantly reducing the addition of new material, with the aim of achieving 100% of recycled raw materials.
We systematically take into account the 'recycled' content of our materials.
We use 100% recycled fiber protectors for our mast packaging.
Renovation and restoration
What product is more responsible than the one you don't change?
Ghm provides a comprehensive study and response, and also puts its expertise to good use to restore monumental fountains such as those in Bourg-en-Bresse or Orléans.
Deteriorated motifs or reliefs, malfunctioning hydraulic circuits... Some fountains installed at the turn of the century or earlier now deserve careful restoration, carried out according to the percept of the art.
Heir to a long tradition of art foundry, fountain and street furniture design, Ghm is also at your service for the complete restoration of your fountain.
Ghm breathes new life into fountains and the places they inspire.
This is one of the greatest advantages of cast iron, as it allows us to embellish public spaces over the long term.
