Is it true that cast iron can be recycled by melting it down into new iron products?
Unclear. Several sources confirm that cast iron is routinely melted in furnaces and cast into products, and one shows recycled iron-bearing scrap being melted into new alloys, but none directly documents cast iron being recycled by melting into new iron products.
