This framework classifies waste foundry sand based on performance and leachate safety, highlighting environmental compliance.

Over 80 percent of waste foundry sand samples comply with environmental thresholds, indicating significant potential for reuse.
Mixes with 10-to-30 percent waste foundry sand substitution often outperform control specimens in compressive strength.
The framework categorizes waste foundry sand into Approved, Reusable with Treatment, and Rejected based on safety and performance.
Validation of the framework reveals its practicality for promoting circular material flows in construction and industrial applications.

Niyonyungu et al. (2025) studied this question.
