Resource efficiency benchmarking of the Russia Ferrous Foundry Industry:

Key findings of the study

Implemented under IFC Russia Cleaner Production Program

GOAL: to identify the ferrous foundry sector’ resource efficiency potential and develop practical tools for foundries to implement it

KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

Russian foundry European foundry предприятие

Russia foundries significantly lag behind European

Russian ferrous foundry us per tone of good casting:

•Energy: 3 times more

•Sand: 3,6 times more

•Water: 161 times more

•Labor : 3,6 times more man-hours

10

4.5 mln t CO2e

Costs:

EU Russia Russia at EU efficiency level

-36%

Inefficiencies eliminate Russian foundries’ competitive advantage in low prices

Prices for major resources in Russia are less than in the EU:

• Energy: 54% less

• Labor: 92% less

• Overheads: 71% less

11

4 times

• Average defect rate in

Russia is 4 times higher than in EU

• Effect export: Russia

exports less than 1% of casting

• Low quality – threat for internal markets as customers require certain quality (eg. automotive producers)

High levels of defect rate
