Aluminium’s power is in its versatility. From transforming transport and shaping smart cities to offering infinite recyclability, discover everything there is to know about this resourceful metal.
...Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology could be a key pillar in achieving full decarbonisation of aluminium smelting, according to a new report from AFRY commissioned by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI). The comprehensive study, which examines the technical and economic feasibility of retrofitting CCS technology to existing aluminium potlines, ...
This study builds upon Eunomia’s previous studies into materials decarbonisation pathways. The scope of this report is focused on aluminium in comparison to four competing materials— steel, copper, container glass, PVC —taken from the perspective of their global value chains. The analysis looks at the Net Zero pathways that are ...
This factsheet provides an overview of interim and long-term emissions reduction targets set by IAI members, including the 13 organisations that have signed up to the Aluminium Industry Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The data reveals a complex landscape of commitments, varying in scope, timeline and ambition. Explore IAI’s comprehensive summary matrix ...
Aluminium cans remain the frontrunners in global recycling rates, outperforming other beverage containers in most countries/territories studied in recent research by Eunomia Research & Consulting. Key findings reveal that Germany, Belgium, South Korea, Sweden, Finland, and Norway are setting the pace in global recycling efforts. These countries/territories demonstrate the potential ...
Aluminium cans are more than just convenient beverage containers. They represent a critical opportunity for sustainable resource management in the United States. Increasing the recycling rates of aluminium cans is paramount for multiple environmental and economic reasons. Recycling reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption, and enhances the production of low-carbon ...
Aluminium can recycling has a pivotal role to play in creating a more sustainable and economically robust future for the United States. The U.S. is the biggest user of aluminium beverage cans worldwide, followed by China and Europe. Aluminium cans are more than just convenient beverage containers. They represent a ...
The vision of the Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance (GBCCA) is to achieve full global circularity of aluminium beverage cans by 2050, in alignment with the International Energy Agency’s Net Zero 2050 scenario. To realize this vision, we’ll need to increase global recycling rates for aluminium beverage cans to at ...
At COP28, leaders in the aluminium beverage can value chain issued a call to action, urging national governments to commit to setting appropriate policies to achieve global aluminium beverage can recycling targets of at least 80% by 2030 and near 100% by 2050. In the aftermath, the Global Beverage Can ...
