Leading aluminum recycler, Novelis, is celebrating the opening of a $200-million auto finishing line expansion to its aluminum rolling operations in Oswego, N.Y.
On October 24, 2013, the facility will open to meet a growing demand from the automotive industry for lighter, more sustainable materials, says Novelis.
According to the company, the Oswego plant currently recycles approximately eight billion used beverage cans per year. It will play a key role in Novelis’ closed-loop recycling model for the automotive industry, whereby automotive aluminum scrap can be re-melted and rolled into new aluminum automotive sheet.
Novelis says that recycling aluminum requires 95 per cent less energy, and produces 95 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than manufacturing primary aluminum.
Novelis has a goal to achieve 80 per cent total recycled content in all product lines, including automotive, by 2020.
