The European Foundry Federation (EFF) represents the national foundry associations of 22 European countries, covering approximately 4,000 foundries and nearly 200,000 employees. Although only 22 iron foundries are currently covered by EU ETS1, these installations account for around 40% of European iron casting production and are therefore highly significant for the sector. 1.
