Novelis is the leading global supplier of rolled aluminium sheet for the automotive industry.
Our experience and global footprint, commitment to innovation and product quality and the relationships we’ve forged with leading automakers set us apart as the preferred partner worldwide.
Recycling
As the leading low carbon aluminium supplier, we offer our customers the ability to deliver products with a smaller environmental footprint. Since 2011, the company has increased its recycled inputs from 33% towards 60%.
Closed Loop Recycling
Novelis is the global leader in closed-loop recycling, a process that allows the company and its customers to reuse customers’ aluminium scrap and recycle the materials into the same products. Closed-loop recycling preserves the value of the alloy, minimises environmental impact, and establishes a secure supply chain for automakers. As we implement our recycling strategy our customers are becoming our suppliers by providing us with their scrap aluminium. The benefits in supply chain management and efficiencies of this closed loop are unparalleled, providing tremendous advantages to both the customer and Novelis.
Novelis collaborated with Jaguar Land Rover to create the first closed-loop system in Europe with a dedicated railway service to efficiently deliver aluminium between Novelis’ Nachterstedt Recycling Center in Germany and Jaguar Land Rover’s production site in the United Kingdom.
The railway service has resulted in an 80 percent reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions compared to road transportation of the materials.
