Sustainability weekly recap: Alumina Ltd. backs Alcoa’s bauxite mining while Cash4Trash seeks improved reverse vending machines
There were plenty of sustainable updates this week, with two international aluminium events being conducted in London on June 1, honouring ALFED EnvironmentAl Sustainability Strategy Day, and on 16-18th May, witnessing the 28th CRU World Aluminium Conference. Alumina Limited has approved Alcoa's bauxite mining in Western Australia, but Premier Mark McGowan is concerned about the safety of Perth's water supply. Alcoa claims to have restored 75% of the woodland it removed but considers land rehabilitated after the first 12 months of landscaping and sowing. Redefine Properties and Cash4Trash (C4T) have partnered to develop advanced reverse vending machines that use 4IR technology to automate the collection, sorting, and handling of used beverage containers for recycling or reuse.
