Garnet Return Program

The GMA Americas Garnet Return Program offers a cost‑effective and environmentally responsible solution for managing spent  waterjet/blasting media. Instead of relying on traditional waste disposal methods, customers can return used garnet to designated collection points, where it is tested and then reprocessed back into a high‑quality abrasive. This streamlined approach helps companies simplify operations, stay compliant with regulations, reduce hidden disposal costs, and lower their overall waste footprint, all while supporting broader sustainability goals
