    Abstract:

    Slovakia is a country with a very fast-growing automotive industry. In 2016 in Slovakia more then one million cars were made. Slovakia ranks first with the production of 183 cars per 1,000 citizens. Cars production is closely linked to the castings and machines production. Slovak foundry industry is currently primarily focused on castings for various cars brands. Many cars producers today require not only a declaration of castings production quality but also declaration of minimalization the impact of their production on the environment.
    Given contribution deals with an analyse of the impact of steel and cast iron castings production on the environment and complex treatment of wastes originating in the castings production. Steel and iron castings production is connected with the origin of three main types of wastes: dust, slag and used sand and core mixtures. Dust is generated at all stages of castings production from charging in to the melting aggregate, through melting, casting, and machining of castings. The type and amount of slag depends on the melting unit. Used sand and core mixtures feature the largest share of wastes from the castings production.
    This paper will discuss the possibilities of processing these three basic wastes and their reusing in production process in foundry.
