Recycling today, circular economy tomorrow – producers of iron, steel and non-ferrous metals are right at the centre of this development. The metal industries are predestined for industrial circular economy, as demonstrated by the cast parts presented at NEWCAST.
The development of modern recycling towards a circular economy in conjunction with renewable energy is critical both for securing resources and for meeting climate goals. The goal is to lengthen the life span of products through sustainable, environmentally friendly optimisation of production and use. No other material better supports value loops than ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
The way foundries manage in practise not only to reduce waste and use resources sparingly, but also, in so far as this is ecologically necessary, technically feasible and economically responsible, to separate economic growth from the use of resources and to lower carbon emissions, can be followed through chosen products at NEWCAST and along the ecoMetals Trails.
