Based on 70 years of historical data from mining to product, recycling and trade for nine regions and globally. This new data reveals a record 20 million tonnes of post-consumer scrap intake in 2019. This avoids 300 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions as recycled metal reduces demand for primary ...
The IAI has undertaken this study to look at sector employment and economic contribution. This report aims to better understand the economic contribution of the aluminium industry by collating existing information relating to direct and indirect jobs globally. Employment numbers for upstream (mining, refining & smelting), downstream and indirect employment ...
Guidance to support smelters in conducting PFC measurements. This guidance provides practical information to support smelters in conducting PFC measurements for different objectives, including process improvement, benchmarking and GHG inventory reporting. The IAI’s PFC Working Group developed this guidance to reflect changes in the IPCC’s 2019 Refinement of the 2006 ...
The Final Report and Summary Presentation of Phase 1 of the Aquatic Fluoride Toxicity project. This material is based on work supported by the International Aluminium Institute, Alcoa Corporation, and EHS Support. Phase 1 of the Aquatic Fluoride Toxicity project found that existing aquatic fluoride criteria is too conservative and ...
A technology roadmap to maximise the use of bauxite residue in cement products. This roadmap provides information and support by addressing technical, legislative and prejudicial barriers. It facilitates bauxite residue valorisation actions of the alumina sector and engages other stakeholders who can help deliver success. Developing standards, frameworks and promoting ...
This useful factsheet details why aluminium is one of the most recycled materials on earth. New figures on global aluminium recycling rates were released by the IAI to mark World Statistics Day in October 2020. According to the data, the global recycling efficiency rate is 76%.
