About Novelis

Novelis is the largest producer of aluminium beverage can sheet and the world’s largest recycler of used beverage cans (UBCs), recycling roughly 70 billion UBCs each year. In the UK, Novelis Recycling has been driving the development of the infrastructure for aluminium beverage can recycling since 1990. The company purchases UK-sourced aluminium beverage cans for recycling.

The plant produces ingots for the beverage can manufacturing industry and as part of a European production system, has the capacity to recycle every aluminium beverage can sold in the UK.

We are committed to developing and supporting aluminium collection programmes.

We help local authorities, waste management companies, business owners and community enterprises, to maximise the potential of the valuable aluminium they collect. Novelis Recycling offers advice and support on all aspects of setting up and running a successful aluminium packaging recycling scheme.
