  • The Novelis and Ball FIRST Robotics Alliance

Novelis brings to life our purpose of shaping a sustainable world together by teaming up with customers to develop sustainable solutions for transportation, packaging, architecture, electronics and more!

 

And, just as FIRST competitions feature alliances, businesses form alliances too! In fact, Ball and Novelis bring together their respective engineers, scientists and business development teams, to create sustainable packaging for your favorite beverages.

The Ball Aluminum Cup™ is Ball’s latest innovation. Infinitely recyclable and economically valuable, aluminum is the most sustainable beverage packaging material, and, like aluminum cans, aluminum cups can be easily recycled.

In fact, the aluminum cups are helping to drive sustainability at sports and entertainment venues across the country, including at Ball Arena in Denver, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and more. The cup is also available in select grocery retailers and mass retailers.

Both Ball and Novelis offer exciting global opportunities for internships, co-ops and full-time positions!
