Rio Tinto is an industry leader in sustainable aluminium products. In 2016, it launched the industry's first certified low carbon aluminium, RenewAl™. In 2018, Rio Tinto became the first company to receive the certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). In 2019, with the launch of ‘Elysis’, Rio Tinto set the goal to industrialize this revolutionary inert anode technology by 2024. Today, Rio Tinto is launching ‘START’, the new sustainable offering for the aluminium industry. START stands for Sustainability, Traceability, and Assurance from Rio Tinto. Using secure blockchain technology, START seamlessly gives customers and end users confidence about where and how the aluminium products they purchase are responsibly made, just like the nutrition label of the material. Relying on the responsible production, Rio Tinto continues to develop aluminium products with high strength, lightweight, and low carbon footprint to support different industries such as automotive, building & constructions, and packaging. |
