Sustainability
Raw Materials
Our raw materials include steel scrap, cast iron scrap, cast iron borings, ferro alloys, sand, bentonite and more.
Melting Furnace
Our melting furnaces allow for greater efficiency, reducing melting time, increasing control of power and cutting pollution.
Locality
All of our production facilities strive to source materials from the surrounding area.
Sand Reclamation
Our Eurac Poole plant has invested in secondary attribution unit, reducing the consumption of new sand by 5,000 tonnes a year.
Driving Down Scrap
The MAT Foundry Group have partnered with DISA, acquiring their Monitizer | PRESCRIBE tool to reduce scrap across our operation.
Green Initiatives
Sustainability has always been an important topic for the MAT Foundry Group. This is proven by the fact our facilities have held the ISO 14001 environmental accreditation for many years. Right now we are seeing an enormous push from OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to become carbon neutral by 2030 – 2040. A growing number are submitting requests for quotations that consider carbon emissions. This has inspired MAT to place an even greater emphasis on reducing carbon emissions, efforts we'll document on this page.
