Green Aluminium Recovery
The world generates 4 million tonnes of aluminium dross every year. Most treat it as waste. We see it as a resource
Waste as an Opportunity
In aluminium production, dross is an inevitable by-product, and a largely untapped one. It contains significant quantities of recoverable aluminium, yet much of it is treated as landfillable waste, creating both: an environmental burden and a missed industrial opportunity.
At Runaya, we see it differently. Aluminium dross isn't a problem to manage. It's the foundation of our circular manufacturing model. We recover value from this by-product that re-enter the manufacturing cycle. By reducing dependency on virgin metals, we deliver sustainable solutions while improving resource efficiency and lowering environmental impact.
16,000 Tonnes
of low-carbon aluminium recovered annually
40,000 Tonnes
of dross processed currently annually
The Green Aluminium Recovery business operates with TAHA International's licensed aluminium recovery technology, engineered to maximise resource recovery while minimising the environmental impact traditionally associated with dross processing.

Our Products
RubiQ Green™ & RuCal Green™
Runaya manufactures two value-added briquette products from processed dross residues — materials that would otherwise be discarded now serve critical industrial functions.
RubiQ Green™ and the alumina-rich RuCal Green™ are used across steelmaking and aluminium production:
- Slag conditioner in steelmaking — supporting desulphurisation, cleaner steel, and improved grain structure
- Sustainable alternative to fluorspar — extending refractory life and improving furnace performance
- Green aluminium production enabler — supporting resource recovery while reducing reliance on virgin raw materials
Circular by Design
Every tonne recovered is a tonne reclaimed for the future, a step towards a more resource-efficient industrial economy.
Waste in. Value out. Every time.
