About the Green Casting LIFE project
Since 2022, the Green Casting LIFE project (LIFE21-ENV-FI-101074439) consortium has been working on the incorporation of innovative inorganic binders into iron casting processes to demonstrate their technical feasibility, as well as the environmental and human health benefits of these binders. The Green Casting LIFE consortium is made up of 16 organizations from 8 European countries, including 6 iron foundries.
