Launched in November 2020, the EU-funded ReActiv project aims to create a novel sustainable symbiotic value chain, linking the by-product of the alumina production industry and the cement production industry. The new ReActiv technologies will modify the properties of the bauxite residue, transforming it into a resource suitable for cement products with a low carbon footprint. ReActiv brings together the global leader in cement production with the European alumina producers and top research and technology centers across 12 European countries. The project is expected to run until November 2024.
