Bauxite Residue: An Introduction Factsheet

Published in

2022

As part of the aluminium industry’s waste-not-want-not approach to circularity – the IAI has produced two waste perception factsheets on bauxite residue and spent pot lining.

The Bauxite Residue Factsheet is laid out in a simple and clear format to help inform the intended audiences on the importance and availability of this by-product. It also provides information on how bauxite residue is produced, its availability and its use in key applications.

You can download the Factsheet in English and Chinese.
