Our company has been on the journey to increase recycled content for more than a decade and has made great strides, going from 30% to 63% in our last fiscal year. But we’re not stopping there. To reach our 2030 goal of 75% we will have to work faster and harder. Our focus on recycled content is directly tied to our goal to reduce our carbon intensity to 3 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of flat rolled product shipped and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. We are playing a critical role in scaling circularity and decarbonizing our industry, advancing the long-term decarbonization goals of our customers.
Novelis is the largest, most technologically advanced recycler of aluminum in the world. Across four continents, we recycled 2.4 million tonnes of aluminum during our last fiscal year.
As the world’s largest aluminum recycler, we have a unique role to play in the aluminum value chain. We know that keeping aluminum “in the loop” by is the best way for our industry to decarbonize.
We are committed to ensuring that this valuable material is continuously recaptured and reused, rather than ending up in landfills or being downcycled into lower-value applications.
This approach preserves aluminum’s full potential and inherent value, allowing it to be recycled repeatedly while supporting a circular economy and reducing environmental impact.
Novelis operates eight dedicated aluminum recycling centers in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, as well as integrated recycling operations at nine of our aluminum rolling plants worldwide.
As one of the most sustainable materials in the world, aluminum is 100% recyclable and can be recycled repeatedly without degrading its inherent value, making it ideally suited for the circular economy.
Aluminum beverage cans and bottles are some of the most prevalent sources of end-of-life recycled aluminum and offer a textbook example of the benefits recycled aluminum delivers in creating a circular economy.
End-of-life recycling offers great advantages, as closing the loop for post-consumer scrap preserves the value of aluminum, helps protect natural resources, and creates a secure supply chain.
Closed-loop recycling allows us to take back as much of the aluminum scrap created by our customers’ production processes as possible, turning it directly back into the same product over and over.
Keeping production scrap in the loop preserves the value of the alloy, reduces transportation costs, minimizes environmental impact, and establishes a more secure supply chain.
