Inspiring & Supporting Our Future Generation: The Crucible's FUEGO Interns Explore Sustainability

A Day of Learning and Inspiration

CASS had the honor of hosting the annual tour for the FUEGO youth interns from The Crucible at our closed-loop recycling & manufacturing facility. It was a fantastic opportunity to educate these young leaders about the crucial role our industry plays in promoting sustainability and protecting the environment.

The interns learned about our advanced recycling processes and how we efficiently reduce the need for virgin raw materials, significantly cutting down on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By seeing our operations firsthand, they gained a deeper understanding of why sustainable practices are vital in combating climate change and fostering a healthier planet.

We were inspired by their enthusiasm and creativity, and we hope their visit sparked a lasting interest in sustainable solutions and the importance of recycling. Together, we can continue to champion sustainability and build a greener future for all.
