Abstract. The metallurgy industry significantly influences the quality of its surrounding environment. This paper, therefore, focuses on creating a model of life cycle assessment (LCA) for a foundry producing grey cast-iron castings. The principles of a LCA are given in ISO 14040: 2006 and ISO 14044: 2006.
