And read on to learn more about what makes aluminum so impressive.
Aluminum is Infinitely Recyclable
Aluminum can be recycled endlessly without losing its properties or quality*. This capability allows it to remain in use indefinitely, reducing the need for virgin material extraction and minimizing waste. By keeping aluminum in circulation, we support a truly circular economy that prioritizes resource efficiency.
Recyling Aluminum Saves Energy and Reduces Carbon Emissions
Recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than producing primary aluminum, translating into a drastic reduction in overall energy consumption and carbon emissions. This unparalleled energy efficiency makes aluminum an indispensable component in sustainable manufacturing, contributing to a lower-carbon future.
Novelis: Leading the Way in Shaping a Sustainable World Together
As the world’s largest recycler of aluminum, Novelis exemplifies industry leadership through innovation and collaboration. Our approach extends beyond simply recycling—we integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations to drive lasting impact:
Setting New Standards in Recycling
In FY24, Novelis recycled 2.3 million metric tons of aluminum, resulting in products that average 63% recycled content. This achievement places us at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing, and we are committed to furthering this progress. Under Novelis 3×30, our new company-wide vision, we aim to achieve 75% recycled content in our products by 2030.
Pioneering Innovative Solutions
Our work goes beyond recycling aluminum. Novelis collaborates with customers to develop advanced low-carbon, high –recycled-content aluminum alloys designed to promote circularity and minimize environmental impact.
Empowering Circularity Through Collaboration
We actively partner with customers, suppliers, associations, universities, governments and other stakeholders to enhance recycling infrastructure and champion policies that advance circular economies worldwide. Through these collaborations, we are helping to create an industry where sustainability is a shared priority and driving real change is possible.
