Recycling has always made economic sense, and this traditional material has been part of a sustainable manufacturing and reuse cycle since long before the term “sustainability” became popular. Cast iron today still offers solid environmental benefits:

Long Life Cycle
Cast iron has always been known for its long-term durability. Products like Forms+Surfaces’ Copenhagen bench can be counted on for many years of reliable service with no worries about replacement or the associated environmental costs.

High Recycled Content

The cast iron used by Forms+Surfaces has a 100% recycled content.

100% Recyclability
People have been recycling cast iron for centuries and the cycle continues today. Cast iron’s scrap value and a highly mature recycling infrastructure make it extremely unlikely that the material will ever be discarded in a landfill.
