Aluminium’s power is in its versatility. From transforming transport and shaping smart cities to offering infinite recyclability, discover everything there is to know about this resourceful metal.
...Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology could be a key pillar in achieving full decarbonisation of aluminium smelting, according to a new report from AFRY commissioned by the International Aluminium Institute (IAI). The comprehensive study, which examines the technical and economic feasibility of retrofitting CCS technology to existing aluminium potlines, ...
This study builds upon Eunomia’s previous studies into materials decarbonisation pathways. The scope of this report is focused on aluminium in comparison to four competing materials— steel, copper, container glass, PVC —taken from the perspective of their global value chains. The analysis looks at the Net Zero pathways that are ...
Aluminium cans are more than just convenient beverage containers. They represent a critical opportunity for sustainable resource management in the United States. Increasing the recycling rates of aluminium cans is paramount for multiple environmental and economic reasons. Recycling reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption, and enhances the production of low-carbon ...
Aluminium can recycling has a pivotal role to play in creating a more sustainable and economically robust future for the United States. The U.S. is the biggest user of aluminium beverage cans worldwide, followed by China and Europe. Aluminium cans are more than just convenient beverage containers. They represent a ...
The vision of the Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance (GBCCA) is to achieve full global circularity of aluminium beverage cans by 2050, in alignment with the International Energy Agency’s Net Zero 2050 scenario. To realize this vision, we’ll need to increase global recycling rates for aluminium beverage cans to at ...
The Phase One Report of the Global Recycling League Table produced by Eunomia Research and Consulting analysed the recycling performance of 48 countries, encompassing those with the highest reported recycling rates and many of the world’s largest economies. The study also incorporated lower-income countries from Latin America, Asia, and Africa ...
The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) recognised and celebrated women across the aluminium industry through a communication campaign that reflected IAI’s commitment to fostering diversity, equality and inclusion. IAI gathered the perspectives of 10 women in its member companies and the Institute itself. These women shared how they got into the ...
Since the 1980s, the aluminum industry in China has made the most significant progress in two aspects. One is the annual output of primary aluminum that has continuously risen from roughly 400,000 tons in 1983 to 40.21 million tons in 2022, accounting for 58.8% of the total annual global output. ...
A report on ‘Alumina Production from Secondary Aluminium Dross‘, presented by Prof. Fengqin Liu and her team from University of Science and Technology Beijing has now been published. A novel large-scale process for producing alumina from secondary aluminium dross has been successfully developed in China, addressing environmental and health concerns ...
