EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 5MINS READ

The aluminium industry is leaving no stone unturned to move towards a sustainable environment. To begin with, ALFED, on the occasion of World of Environment Day, announced intentions to develop two new member initiatives to support the sector's transition to Net Zero on June 1 at the first EnvironmentAl Strategy Day. Ørsted, a major sustainable energy firm, has formed a new cooperation with SOLARCYCLE, a technology-based solar recycling company, to recycle and process end-of-life solar modules from Ørsted around the United States. Vedanta Aluminium stated on World Environment Day that its product line was validated by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) International. Vedanta's EPD-verified goods comprised billets, Primary Foundry Alloy (PFA), wire rods, and other types of ingots. For the second year, Nespresso launched its Recycling Rewards programme to promote its recycling campaign of aluminium coffee capsules. According to a recent online survey, many Australians are confused about the country's recycling methods.
