mhm - no brainer of the year, page-32

Obviously we know the US is 40 times the size of Australia's waste, how big is the worlds'?? Tried googling but no joy in finding this figure.

Macquarie Harbour Mining Limited (ASX:MHM), through wholly-owned operating subsidiary Alreco Pty Ltd, owns the exclusive global rights to a proprietary technology for the processing of Aluminium Salt Slag, a waste product from the
aluminium industry.

Alreco?s proprietary technology, the ALNAK technology, processes Salt Slag and separates it into its individual components of aluminium metal (10-20%), aluminium oxide (30-40%) and a salt and potassium chloride blend (50%). The
technology results in total waste treatment and production of aluminium and other saleable products. The technology removes the need for any portion of the Salt Slag
to be sent to landfill.


The ALNAK technology has significant environmental benefits including;
- reduced energy consumption; the energy used in the recycling of aluminium recovered from Salt Slag is 95% less
than the energy required to produce aluminium from bauxite ore
- recycling of salt, potash and aluminium oxide; all valuable commodities that were previously consigned to landfill
- avoidance of hazardous material in landfills.
