EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 4MINS READ

Rio Tinto will build a hydrogen pilot plant in Gladstone and replace natural gas with clean hydrogen at an alumina refinery. Sumitomo Corporation will assist with the project. Hydro's North American extrusion unit received the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Performance Standard V2 certification after passing an audit by DNV. 23 out of 100 sites in the US and Canada were certified. Hydro is supplying a Catholic University team with extruded aluminium structural members made from their certified product, Hydro CIRCAL, which has at least 75% recycled scrap. The team is rebuilding a geodesic dome in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Cano Water promotes canned water as a sustainable alternative to plastic. They launched a campaign to encourage the use of sustainable packaging and criticized Wimbledon's partnership with Evian for its negative environmental impact—# breakupwithplastic.
