As the
world’s largest recycler of aluminum cans, Novelis is committed to maximizing
aluminum recycling.
Not only does it make good economic and environmental sense, it is the right
thing to do. Globally, Novelis recycles nearly
36 billion aluminum beverage cans a year. In fact,
Novelis’ Berea, Kentucky facility is the world's largest fully dedicated
aluminum can recycling plant.
Novelis is
committed to the aluminum industry's wide effort to increase the industry’s
recycling rate for used aluminum beverage containers from 54% today, to 75% by
2015. Each year Americans still discard over 50 billion aluminum cans which end
up in landfills. Recycling plays a critical role in maintaining the aluminum can
as an environmentally sustainable package!
Through an efficient can collection network, Novelis is able to recycle
aluminum and manufacture sheet for the production of new cans, fill the cans and
deliver them to stores in as little as 60 days. This process is done with the
help of 12,500 global employees and facilities located in 11 countries. In
the U.S. , we have 2,500 employees and 11 facilities. Novelis also
supplies premium aluminum sheet and foil products to automotive, transportation,
packaging, construction, industrial markets.
Novelis is also a proud sponsor of the Cans for Cash City Recycling
Challenge, a national contest that rewards cities for recycling
aluminum beverage cans. For more information about Cans for Cash, please click
