Alarming Raw Materials and Energy Costs Situation

Alarming Raw Materials and Energy Costs Situation

Foundries are an important player of the European value chain and home to many qualified workers in rural areas. 70 percent of the approx. 4 700 foundries with 300 000 employees operating in EU are considered small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME), operating mainly in regions, already having suffered from industrial decline in recent years. Their survival is of utmost importance for regional development and prosperity.

Green Means Lean

Foundries have been making new metal objects from remelting old ones for centuries, making metal casters some of the worlds first recycles. Old and discarded products such as electronic appliances, manhole covers, tin cans, cars and shopping trolleys are not seen as rubbish by foundries, but as raw materials. Today foundries in many countries convert this unwanted scrap metal and recycle it into valuable products such as engine blocks, golf clubs, aluminum wheels and a cornucopia of other essential products.

Sustainability: Environmental Stewardship at Waupaca Foundry

Iron foundries are the ultimate recyclers, creating new products by recycling old iron castings and scrap steel. But melting metal requires large quantities of energy and we're doing our part to change this reality in substantial ways. Waupaca Foundry maintains a formal sustainability program with four key areas of focus, along with specific objectives we're striving to reach by the year 2020:

Waupaca Foundry gets $400,000 in energy incentives

ETOWAH, Tenn. -- Four years after Waupaca Foundry Inc., reopened its automotive castings plant here, the 560 employees who stamp out thousands of automotive parts every day are operating quite literally in a brighter environment. Over the past four months, 1,016 metal halide and T12 light fixtures were replaced with brighter, and more energy-efficient LED lights. The changeover cost more than $750,000. But the new lights are projected to yield an annual energy savings of more than 4.6 million kilowatthours worth $232,385 a year.

Fine-tuning the foundry

Insight On Manufacturing–When a foundry melts more than 8,500 tons of scrap iron each day, it uses a huge amount of energy. Need a visual? That's more than the metal in the Eiffel Tower, which weighs 7,300 tons. That's why Waupaca Foundry has long realized the importance of saving energy. It not only helps the environment, it has a direct impact on the bottom line. Waupaca Foundry's energy enhancements earned a DOE commendation.
