Purpose and goal
The long-term aim is to create a resource-efficient and resilient foundry process by developing conditions for managing a variable material flow at the scrap yard. The goal of the feasibility study is to map today´s material flow as well as develop a concrete plan and create conditions for a proposal for a larger development project. The long-term result goal is to develop a solution that handles and closes the entire circular material flow for the cast product.
Expected effects and result
The project´s results are expected to create the conditions for a larger project with a focus on developing an infrastructure that can handle a variable supply of raw materials in the foundry industry. This way of working will increase the foundries´ ability to use recycled material and also the ability to manage a variable supply. Both of these factors are of great importance in achieving a more resource-efficient and resilient foundry process.
Planned approach and implementation
The feasibility study consists of a number of activities with aim to supplement the current picture with a monitoring of the environment and to map the current situation of each company in the project to identify the issues that need to be dealt with. This takes place through a mapping of today´s material flow as well as workshops where the various issues and how they should be handled are discussed. Finally, the result is compiled as a starting point for a proposal for a continuation project.
