Waste
Alcoa Point Henry focuses strongly on reduction, reuse and overall management of waste generated on site. The Environmental Improvement Plan   outlines Alcoa Point Henry’s approach and strategy for waste management. 
 
The 2008 EIP is currently in draft stage and under website development.  Please monitor this site for updates.

Waste Management
Alcoa Point Henry is widely recognised as an industry leader in waste management initiatives. 
 
In 1991, Point Henry was sending 36,000 tonnes of general waste to landfill. By employing waste minimisation practices, in 2000 the figure was less than 150 tonnes.
 
Today our goal is zero waste. 
 
Some interesting facts:
 
-     All waste collected at Alcoa Point Henry is sorted on site to maximise the potential for recycling or reuse 
-     The commissioning of the Regain facility sees spent potlining now being reused by other industry.
