Waupaca铸造 可持续性 Roadmap

Storied path to carbon and climate neutrality

2021年可持续发展报告

Foundries are the ultimate recyclers. 几代人, Waupaca铸造 has created new products out of recycled steel scrap and iron and re-uses many of the raw materials used in creating iron castings. 然而, foundries are also energy-intensive businesses and it is imperative that Waupaca keeps finding smarter ways to use and preserve the plant's natural resources. 

Waupaca铸造 2023 可持续性 goals are as follows: 

  • Reduce energy intensity by 5% by end of FY 2023, using FY 2019 energy use as the baseline (MMBTU per ton of iron melted)
  • Reduce the cumulative electrical consumption carbon footprint 30% by end of FY 2023, via investment in new renewable energy developments facilitated by virtual power purchase agreements (VPPA).
  • Maintain air pollution control systems considered as “best available” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and associated state regulatory agencies for all processes regardless of the original installation date.  
  • Achieve a cumulative 80% beneficial reuse of spent foundry materials by end of FY 2023 (% tons beneficially reused against total tons generated)
  • Reduce water use consumption by 10% by end of FY 2023 (baseline 2020)(gallons) 

Waupaca铸造 had a 10-year vision for 可持续性 with achievable goals for reducing its 环境al impact by 2020. 结果如下: 

  • 目标: Reduce energy use by 25 percent over the next 10 years, using fiscal 2009 energy use as the baseline (mmBtu/ton of iron shipped).
    结果: 能源 intensity was reduced by 21%, but temporarily setback to 17% improvement due to COVID-19 related issues
  • 目标: Maintain air pollution control systems considered as “best available” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and associated state regulatory agencies for all processes regardless of the original installation date.
    结果: 实现
  • 目标: Reduce spent foundry sand generation by 30 percent in 10 years (baseline 2010) (tons). Investigate the feasibility of developing alternative uses for remaining foundry byproducts by Calendar 2020.
    结果: 80% of foundry sand and 74% of all foundry by-products beneficially reused
  • 目标: Reduce water use consumption by 80 percent in 10 years (baseline 2010) (gallons/ton of melt).
    结果: 减少71%

Waupaca铸造 maintains an Environment Management System and is registered to ISO 14001: 2015 at all 铸造的位置.
