ForCYCLE Technical Center - Recycling foundry dust?

Dust occurs during many process steps in the metal industry. The highly heterogeneous composition makes the recycling process difficult, which is why a large proportion of the dust produced ends up in landfill sites. In addition to the finite capacities of landfills and the environmental impact, foundries are also facing additional challenges with rising disposal costs. Building on the results of ForCYCLE II, the identified foundry dust recycling method is now being optimized in the follow-up project. The aim of this project is to optimize the recycling process and to test it on a pilot plant scale in order to enable cost-efficient recycling of foundry dust and to reduce the burden on Bavarian foundries, landfills and the environment in the future.

The ForCYCLE Technical Center project network is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection and coordinated by the Bavarian Resource Efficiency Center (REZ) at the Bavarian State Office for the Environment.
