The earlier ways to dispose of excess ammunition through dumping at sea or open burning and detonation were primitive and environmentally hazardous. With Nammo’s present industrial demilitarization capabilities, the cost saving recycling processes are given high priority and more than 90% of all ingoing components and materials, including explosives and propellants, are recovered and recycled on the civilian market. The environmental processes are also minimising all emissions into the air and water.
Nammo has multiple technologies and all the necessary processes and equipments for safe disassembly, explosive removal and recycling (or disposal) of all conventional ammunitions, components and ingoing materials, which are based on more than 35 years of experience in the field.
