Reducing environmental impact
In addition to greater health and safety awareness, foundries are under increasing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of their activities. Addressing these issues can be both complex and expensive.
It is in the interests of all involved in the industry to reduce the environmental impact of casting production, and promote practices that enhance health and safety within the foundry and improving environmental performance is critical to the future of the foundry industry.
At Foseco we offer a combination of products, services and process expertise to help our customers:
- Reduce emissions in the metal treatment and core preparation areas
- Reduce the use and storage of hazardous substances and promote good housekeeping
- Reduce energy consumption in the melting and holding of liquid metal
- Minimise the level of non-productive metal involved in feeder heads and running systems
- Reduce waste
- Improve the working environment
- HS&E Best Practice
Foseco is actively involved in the development of more environmentally friendly products and processes and has played a key role in the development and transfer of best practice. This is demonstrated by our commitment to the pursuit of ISO 14001 in all our plants. We will strive to reduce the environmental impact of our own production processes, and the impact of our products in use in the foundry.
