The National Cleaner Production Centre South Africa (NCPC) and the National Foundry Technology Network (NFTN) in collaboration with Ozone 2020 Skills Development have recently held a virtual presentation to 15 KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) companies, which comprised of foundries and suppliers to the industry, to present the skills development initiatives focused on resource-efficient and cleaner production (RECP) principles for the foundry industry.
