This report provides practical guidance to help the bauxite mining industry track progress towards no net loss of biodiversity. Developed with IAI members in Australia, Brazil, Guinea and India, it identifies core metrics, reviews available global datasets, and offers recommendations for consistent monitoring and reporting across sites and regions.
...An evidence-based industry position paper assessing the chemistry, performance and economics of carbon dioxide mineral sequestration in unmodified bauxite residue – showing its limited storage potential from both a chemistry and economic standpoint
...Driving Aluminium Circularity in the Solar Photovoltaic Sector The project, funded by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) and other partners, and undertaken by Rennie Advisory, explored end-of-life management options for photovoltaic (PV) systems, with a particular focus on aluminium circularity. The report sets out practical recommendations to maximise: Aluminium is ...
