Aluminium (Al) is widely used in society. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for aircraft frames, satellites, and electric vehicle bodies, where reducing mass improves fuel efficiency and performance. It is also used in the power transmission grid. Aluminium's primary ore is...

The SCCS considers that aluminium compounds are safe when used: - in non-sprayable product categories at the maximum levels indicated - in sprayable products, at the maximum levels for the total formulation (i.e. including propellant), provided that the percentage of particles/droplets with a...

Climate Change Mitigation: By 2050, Circular Economy strategies can save 1214 Mt CO2-eq. emissions annually in the aluminium sector, compared to relying solely on decarbonisation strategies - Reduced Resource Dependency: They can reduce the direct input of bauxite for the EU aluminium industry...

Aluminium is recognized as an essential material for the global energy transition. However, its production is extremely energy-intensive and largely dependent on fossil fuels. The aluminium industry emits more than 1.11 Gt CO2-eq annually. Multiple obstacles persist in the face of decarbonizing...

In light of the new data provided, does the SCCS consider Aluminium compounds safe when used in cosmetic products other than deodorants, antiperspirants, lipsticks and toothpastes? In the event that the estimated exposure to Aluminium from cosmetic products is found to be of concern, SCCS is...
