Namuhla, i-Aluminium Association yamemezela ukwethulwa komkhankaso we- "Khetha i-Aluminium", okubandakanya ukuthengwa kwezikhangiso zedijithali, amavidiyo abaholi bezimboni ze-Aluminium, iwebhusayithi entsha yokugcina, kanye nokugqamiswa kwe-100% kabusha, kuhlala isikhathi eside futhi izici ezizinzile zezinye izinto zensimbi. Lo mcimbi wenziwa ngemuva kokwethulwa kwewebhusayithi entsha www.luminum.org yi-Aluminium Association ngenyanga edlule.

Izikhangiso, amavidiyo namawebhusayithi axoxa indaba yokuthi i-aluminium ihlinzeka ngayo izixazululo ezizinzile ezindaweni ezifana nokuvuselela kabusha, ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto, ukwakha nokwakha, ukufakwa kwesiphuzo. Iphinde ilande futhi ukuthi imboni yaseNyakatho Melika i-Aluminium ihlise kanjani i-carbon footprint yayo ngaphezulu kwengxenye eminyakeni engama-30 edlule. Imboni ye-Alcoa isekela cishe imisebenzi engama-660,000 eqondile, engaqondile neyatholakala kanye nenani eliphelele lezomnotho lezomnotho lama-dollar angama-172 aseMelika. Eminyakeni eyishumi edlule, imboni itshale imali engaphezu kwama- $ 3 billion e-US ekwenziweni.

"Njengoba sisebenzela ikusasa eliyindilinga futhi elizinzile, i-aluminium kufanele ibe phambili," kusho uMat Meenan, umqondisi omkhulu wezindaba zangaphandle e-Aluminim Association. "Ngezinye izikhathi sikhohlwa ngezinzuzo zemvelo zansuku zonke i-aluminium ehlinzeka ngeziphuzo esizithengayo, ezakhiweni esiphila kuzo futhi zisebenza kuzo, ezimotweni esizishayela. Lo mkhankaso uyisikhumbuzo sokuthi sinesisombululo esisebenza ngokungapheli, esihlala isikhathi eside, esingasindi esikuthola kalula. Futhi kuyisikhumbuzo seminyakazo emihle kakhulu embonini ye-aluminium yase-US eyenziwe ukutshala futhi ikhule ngenkathi isanciphisa i-footprint yayo yekhabhoni emashumini eminyaka amuva. "

I-Aluminium ingenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ezisetshenziswayo namuhla. Ama-Aluminium Beeverage Cans, iminyango yemoto noma ozimele wewindows zivame ukwenziwa kabusha futhi zisetshenziswe kabusha. Le nqubo ingenzeka cishe ngokungapheli. Ngenxa yalokhu, cishe ama-75% okukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium asasebenza namuhla. I-aluminium degree ephezulu yokuvuselela kabusha kanye nokuqina okungasindi kwenza kube yingxenye ebalulekile yomnotho oyindilinga, ophansi wekhabhoni.

Imboni ye-aluminium nayo yenza ukuthuthuka okuqhubekayo ekusebenzeni kwemvelo kokukhiqiza insimbi. Ukuhlolwa komjikelezo wempilo yesithathu eNyakatho Melika Aluminium kungakhiwa ngoMeyi walo nyaka kuveze ukuthi ukuphuma kwegesi abamba ukushisa kulahlile ama-40% eminyakeni engama-30 edlule.
