In a significant stride towards sustainable practices, Vedanta Aluminium has announced the dispatch of its inaugural supply of low-carbon aluminium to Global Aluminium Pvt Ltd, a prominent aluminium extrusion company based in Telangana. This move is a testament to Vedanta Aluminium’s commitment to environmental responsibility and a greener future.
The dispatched product, known as Restora Billets, represents the nation’s first-ever low-carbon ‘green’ aluminium. Notably, Restora is manufactured using renewable energy sources, positioning it as a groundbreaking solution in the quest for eco-friendly industrial practices.
The production of Restora is characterised by a greenhouse gas emission intensity within four tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of aluminium manufactured. This falls well below the global threshold for aluminium to be considered as having a low carbon footprint, making Restora a sustainable choice in the aluminium industry.
Moreover, Vedanta Aluminium has introduced Restora Ultra, a variant made with aluminium recovered from dross, a byproduct of aluminium smelting. This innovation results in an even lower carbon footprint, approaching zero and ranking among the lowest in the world. The utilization of waste materials in the production process aligns with circular economy principles, showcasing Vedanta Aluminium’s dedication to minimizing environmental impact.
Vedanta Aluminium CEO John Slaven expressed the company’s commitment to collaborating with valued customers to pave the way for a greener future. “We are committed to working with our valued customers to realize a greener future for the planet,” said Slaven. This sentiment underscores the company’s belief in fostering partnerships that prioritize sustainability and environmental consciousness.
The dispatch of Restora Billets marks a milestone in Vedanta Aluminium’s journey towards providing eco-friendly solutions to the market. By incorporating low-carbon aluminium into the supply chain, the company is not only contributing to a more sustainable industrial landscape but also setting a precedent for responsible business practices.
