AluChem launched this green initiative in 2008 as a program designed to promote the use of renewable and recyclable materials.  Through this initiative, AluChem has utilized more than 6,000 tons of our by-products and solid waste streams in various products, applications and markets.  Additionally, we are committed to helping our customers re-purpose their alumina-based, solid waste streams in an effort to reduce cost(s) and avoid landfills.
