Spent Pot Lining: 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 spent pot lining (SPL) and bauxite residue.

The Spent Pot Lining Factsheet explains how SPL is produced, its availability and its use – and is presented in a simple and clear format to help inform the intended audience about the importance and usage of this by-product. The Factsheet also provides more information about toxicity levels and cites various case studies of how companies successfully use SPL.

You can download the factsheet in English and Chinese.
