A New Generation of Cutting and Grinding Discs

Now with goodness in and nothing out

Minimizing our environmental footprint on the planet matters, which is why we’re thrilled to introduce Norton Expert cutting & grinding discs now made with the goodness of a minimum of 14%* recycled materials. ​

At Norton, we've taken the first step in our ongoing commitment to combining performance with respect for the environment. Norton Expert cutting & grinding discs are the perfect choice for any DIY project, delivering the same exceptional quality you expect from the Norton brand, now with the added benefit of sustainability.

A rise in demand for more sustainable products​

As environmental awareness grows, consumers are considering the footprint of their purchases, and the demand for more sustainable products is rapidly increasing. Our goal is to meet this rising demand by providing more sustainable abrasive solutions which not only meet the needs of environmentally conscious DIYers but also those seeking top-tier performance. 

A revolutionary breakthrough​

We’re proud to be one of the first manufacturers to produce cutting and grinding discs not only to be manufactured with recycled materials, but which are also supported by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verified by a third party, providing a transparent and standardised assessment of the environmental footprint of the discs throughout their lifecycle.​ All EPD documents are available to view and download below.

The ‘goodness in’ our abrasive discs​

Each cutting disc contains 25% recycled grain, and the central steel ring is made using 12% recycled steel. This makes up a total of a minimum of 14% recycled materials. We like to think of this as the 'goodness' in our discs.
 

What does ‘nothing out’ mean?​

We've removed nothing from our discs, ensuring there are no changes to quality and performance. Extensive internal tests have been carried out to ensure DIYers receive the same 'expert' performance as always from the Norton brand.
 

Contributing to a circular economy

At Saint-Gobain, our purpose is to Make the World a Better Home, and this new generation of cutting and grinding discs, made with recycled materials, now offers the advantage of reducing its contribution to global overconsumption of natural resources while still guaranteeing outstanding performance in the DIY market. This new generation of discs made with a minimum of 14% recycled material enables us to continuously improve our abrasive products with transparency. We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint and making the world a better home, growing our sustainable commitment together.
