Recycling and reusing is not a new idea for the foundry industry. But bringing used foundry by-products back into the molding and casting process... That's news. In February 2013, Waupaca Foundry will be the first in the United States to install state-of-the-art sand reclamation technology at Plant 2/3 to reclaim used sand for the foundry. This experimental pilot program will bring new value to old sand and help reduce Waupaca's dependence on new-sand purchases.
