ASI is delighted to announce that IUCN, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, hasjoined ASI as its first Civil Society member.  IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental organization, with almost 1,300 government and NGO Members and more than 15,000 volunteer experts in 185 countries. IUCN’s work is supported by almost 1,000 staff in 45 offices and hundreds of partners in public, NGO and private sectors around the world.

ASI is also pleased to announce that Regain Materials Pty Ltd has joined as the first General Supporter member.  Regain provides sustainable advantages for the aluminium, cement and clay brick industries and for the environment through the safe and economic transformation of aluminium smelter waste materials, such as spent pot lining (SPL).  For more information, visit their website at: www.regainmaterials.com

“Regain is very pleased to support the ASI. Our reasons for joining are that we believe the ASI:

  1. encourages and promotes a global movement towards practical sustainability in aluminium production
  2. will become a thought leader in materials stewardship as the world increasingly turns to waste as a resource
  3. provides a framework for the aluminium industry to respond to and shape societal expectations of sustainable practices.

We look forward to contributing to this important initiative.”
