  April 2023- Alcoa has revealed the growth of the Business's EcoSource™ low-carbon alumina brand to now hold some grades of non-metallurgical alumina. First introduced in 2020 for smelter-grade applications (SGA), EcoSource is the first one across the globe to have small-carbon alumina. At present, it is also being provided in non-metallurgical (NMA) grades, such as calcined and hydrated items. Hydrates are mainly utilized in municipal water treatment applications; calcined materials are utilized for the production of glass, flame retardants, and ceramic tiles. Kelly Thomas, the Alcoa Executive Vice President, and Chief Commercial Officer, said that the company is happy to grow its EcoSource brand to more customers as a vital evolution in the company's product portfolio. He further added that they are providing solutions now to benefit their consumers, lower their releases, and fulfill their specific sustainability targets. The company, in both NMA and SGA, is also stated to be tracked from Alcoa's global refining system, which has a mean carbon dioxide equivalent intensity (CO2e) that is under 0.6 tons per ton of alumina generated, which involves scope two and scope one releases from alumina refining and bauxite mining.

  February 2023- India's premier manufacturer of metallurgical grade alumina, Vedanta Limited, has attained the latest landmark in its persistent quest for operating superiority. Its in-house laboratory has developed as the first in India to be formally accredited and capable of testing calcined alumina on all significant chemical and physical parameters. What makes this certification especially noteworthy is that the Vedanta Lanjigarh team independently completed the NABL accreditation process on their very first effort and within a shorter timeframe, a testament to the extensive skills and expertise of the company's technical personnel. The laboratory is now officially certified on its ability to test calcined alumina upon several parameters such as Bulk Density, BET Surface Area, Iron, Silicon, and Sodium.
