The model traces the flow of aluminium from 1888
to the present along the complete value chain.
Further, with historic information of more than
100 years it was possible to forecast the flow of
aluminium to the year 2020. Eight major processes
are investigated: bauxite mining, alumina refining,

1 Aluminium in skimmings; 2 Scrap generated by foundries, rolling mills and extruders. Most is internal scrap and not taken into account in statistics; 3 Such as deoxidation
aluminium (metal property is lost ) 4 Area of current research to identify final aluminium destination (reuse, recycling, recovery or disposal); 5 Calculated based on IAI LCI
report - update 2005. Includes, depending on the ore, between 30% and 50% alumina; 6 Calculated. Includes on a global average 52% aluminium; 7 Scrap generated during
the production of finished products from semis; 8 Either incinerated with/without energy recovery, material recovery or disposal.
