EcoSource is the world's first and only low-carbon alumina brand, first launched in 2020 for smelter-grade applications (SGA). It is now available in non-metallurgical (NMA) grades, such as hydrates and calcined materials. Hydrates are primarily used in municipal water treatment applications, whereas calcined materials are used in the production of ceramic tiles, glass, and flame retardants.

Kelly Thomas, the Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Alcoa, said, “Alcoa is the world’s largest producer of non-metallurgical alumina outside of China. We’re excited to expand our EcoSource brand to more customers as an important evolution in our product portfolio.” 

“We are offering solutions today to help our customers reduce their emissions and meet their sustainability goals.”

EcoSource is derived from Alcoa's global refining system, which has an average carbon dioxide equivalent intensity (CO2e) of less than 0.6 tonnes per tonne of alumina produced, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from bauxite mining and alumina refining.

EcoSource is part of Alcoa’s Sustana™ family, which is the most comprehensive in the industry because it is the only brand that includes alumina, primary aluminium and aluminium with recycled content. The other products include:

  • EcoLum™ low-carbon aluminium with less than 4.0 tonnes of CO2e for every tonne of metal produced, including direct and indirect emissions from bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting and casting. This performance is three times better than the global industry average and is offered in a full range of primary products, including foundry, slab, billet, wire rod, high purity, and P1020.
  • EcoDura™ aluminium is made with a minimum of 50 per cent recycled content. It can benefit building and construction customers in terms of LEED® certification points.

GAE 2023

EcoLum and EcoSource can be supplied with certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), a global nonprofit with the industry’s most comprehensive third-party certification of responsible manufacturing practices. Alcoa has locations across its three product segments certified to ASI’s Performance Standard. The Company has also earned ASI’s Chain of Custody standard, providing validation and traceability of responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.
