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 ...
Aluminium beverage cans are a true symbol of circularity, endlessly recyclable without losing quality. Our latest fact sheet explores how alloy design, process control and advanced recycling turn used cans back into new ones again and again. By combining precise metallurgy with efficient scrap sorting and delacquering, metal recovery improves ...
