The article examines the issue of the formation of fine-dispersed waste during foundry production and its impact on environmental pollution. The text analyzes the sources and physical and chemical characteristics of such waste, which complicate their disposal and increase their ecological hazard. Particular attention is paid to the challenges of handling fine fractions and the risks they pose to soil, water, and air. The article emphasizes the importance of developing advanced and efficient recycling technologies and highlights rotary tilting furnaces as one of the most promising solutions. These technologies not only reduce the negative environmental impact but also make it possible to return valuable metals into the production cycle.
