ALUMINIUM & SOURCE

Aluminium is one of the Earth’s most abundant metals.

Aluminum is produced from primary production from ore and/or recycling of aluminum scrap. The main ore used for the primary production of aluminium is bauxite. This is refined into an intermediate product, alumina, that is then smelted into aluminum.
