Novelis to convert all of its beverage can sheet to high-recycled-content aluminum
Atlanta-based aluminum roller and recycler Novelis has announced a new commitment to convert all of its beverage can body sheet production to its evercan™ sheet, which the company says is the world's first certified high-recycled-content aluminum for beverage cans, by the end of 2017.
"The transition to a low-carbon, circular economy requires innovation and disruption to create measurable impact," said President and CEO Phil Martens. "Our plan to produce only evercan body sheet by 2017 … extends our leadership in sustainability and is an important part of our long-term strategy to increase the recycled content in our products to 80 percent by the end of the decade."
This commitment means that all can body sheet produced by the company will be certified 90 percent recycled content, compared to the global industry average of 50 percent.
