Latest aluminium targets
CAB has made a significant contribution to the first annual report of the Windows Sustainability Partnership (WSP).
It has helped by communicating the latest global aluminium objectives and targets while also highlighting the progress of its own current and planned UK projects.
The Report captured evidence of the impacts on each product type, including aluminium, across their lifecycle.
The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) established a number of global sustainability objectives on which the Action Plan highlights progress.
For example:
Between 1990 and 2010, the aluminium sector achieved its 10% target reduction in smelter electrical energy per tonne of aluminium.
For the period between 2006 and 2020, there was a target reduction in energy use per tonne of alumina of 10%.
A 9% reduction was achieved between 2006 and 2010.
