By using the ReRail system a huge amount of rail can be saved. To replace all worn out rail in Europe today gives a carbon dioxide discharge of 4 million tons/year. Replacing the rail with ReRail reduces the discharge to 0,6 million tons/year (-85%). Considering the useful life of ReRail, the discharge is reduced to 0,3 million tons/year (-92%). This means that corresponding amount carbon dioxide can be saved. For the global world market it means a saving of 4 million tons carbon dioxide every year. Even the steel is a finite resource that should be handled with care. Few believe that we can economize the steel the same way in the future.
