Contaminants
Contaminants disrupt the recycling process and reduce the efficiency of the aluminium can recycling 'loop'. They can also affect the profitability of your aluminium can recycling scheme.
'Foreign' materials, including plastics, rubber, paper, heavy metal objects, rocks, flammable materials and other metals, can be hazardous to Novelis' personnel and our agents, can damage equipment and can lead to fires, injuries and explosions. Food and beverage residues can create an environment for insect and rodent infestation.
We have produced a range of information and resources to help you understand contamination.
