The Foundry Sand in Soils Applications Forum will be held on July 23, 2008 at The Ohio State University
in Columbus, Ohio. The forum’s cosponsors include The Ohio State University, The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
The American Foundry Society, and Foundry Industry Recycling Starts Today.

Foundry sand from iron, steel, and aluminum foundries is a proven ingredient in manufactured topsoil
blends, athletic fields, golf courses and other redevelopment sites needing topsoil.
Foundries are often located at or near brownfields and the foundry sand can be a local,
free ingredient to manufacture soil at a brownfields site. Use of foundry sand can provide
economic and environmental benefits of using them as inputs into new products and as a way
to conserve energy and reduce reliance on virgin materials.
