This mountain of scrap metal, one of many located This mountain of scrap metal, one of many located in the yard of one of our partner foundries, is #sustainability personified! ♻️ Recycling and Reuse: Foundries extensively recycle scrap metal and defective castings. Metal can be melted down and reused repeatedly without losing its properties, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing waste. 🌎 Resource Efficiency: Foundries reduce the demand for virgin ores by using recycled metals. This helps conserve natural resources and reduces the environmental impact associated with mining and raw material extraction. 💲 Circular Economy: Foundries turn scrap metal and waste products back into valuable materials. This approach supports sustainability by creating a closed-loop system. Iron Age is proud of our role in repurposing these materials, bringing beautiful, designer-cast metal grates and site furnishings to life. Shout-out to our estimator, @Mr_DiegoZ, for providing a sense of scale to this massive mound of metal! • • • #MetalRecycling #MetalCasting #CastIron #Foundry #IronAgeDesigns #IronAge #IronAgeGrates #Recycled #Sustainable #MadeInUSA
