Novelis Recycling is working with paper recycler Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Europe in the North East of England. Abitibi's Teeside transfer station is operating as the regional aggregation centre for deliveries of used aluminium beverage cans.
Paper recycler Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Europe has joined the Novelis Recycling Network. Abitibi's Teesside transfer station is now operating as the regional aggregation centre for suppliers of used aluminium beverage cans to Novelis.
The aluminium can recycler has appointed Abitibi-Consolidated to receive and process loose or baled cans directly from its suppliers. The cans are checked to ensure they meet the Novelis specification for supply, and baled if necessary, before being forwarded to the Novelis plant at Warrington for reprocessing.
The Teesside transfer station sorts other food and beverage cans, as well as paper, glass and textiles from Redcar and Cleveland, Hartepool and Middlesbrough, as well as mixed cans from other Abitibi-Consolidated recycling schemes.
?It?s gratifying that our own high quality control standards meet those of Novelis,? says David Jaffa, UK operations manager, Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Europe.
Explaining the role of its network of aggregation centres Novelis Recycling commercial manager Keith Guest says: ? We have established the network of aggregation centres so that, wherever the cans are collected in the UK, delivery to us is only a local journey. Of course having regional delivery points makes sense from an environmental point of view too, reducing transport miles and the associated vehicle emissions.?
Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Europe is among the biggest collectors of used newspapers and magazines from domestic properties in the UK. Newspapers and magazines from more than 2 million homes now end up at the Bridgewater mill - located in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire - where it serves as the raw material for 100 percent recycled newsprint for many leading newspaper publishers.
Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Europe and Novelis Recycling are both members of the End User Consortium, which brings together the leading re-processors of used newspapers and magazines, packaging and textiles, to guarantee local authorities a secure and sustainable market for their recyclables. The Consortium provides multi-material kerbside programmes to local authorities throughout the UK
