Altek and Real Alloy will work together, in conjunction with support from the US Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), to build a zero-waste aluminum salt slag recycling facility in Wabash, Indiana. Real Alloy will utilize Altek’s AluSalt salt slag processing technology to recycle metallics and salts and recover other non-metallic products, avoiding the need for salt slag to be sent to landfills.

The project, named Project Zaar, was funded with more than US$3 million, with a US$67.3 million federal cost share, to start the first phase, which includes design, planning, and completing documentation required for a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review. This phase is expected to last nine months.

Altek managing director James Herbert said the AluSalt technology is designed to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate the need for landfills, and create by-products that can be reused in Real Alloy’s aluminum recycling in the cement, and steel industries.
