Both Novelis and Ball Corporation are elevating their sustainability efforts through this new contract, which includes closed-loop recycling and collaborative initiatives to bolster beverage can recycling rates. Novelis directly reclaims manufacturing scrap during the can-making process and recycles it into new aluminum sheet. This process not only forms a continuous loop but also allows Novelis to recycle over 82 billion used beverage cans annually. "Novelis is a critical partner in helping Ball reach our carbon footprint reduction goals and achieving full circularity for aluminum beverage packaging," said Ron Lewis, senior vice president & chief operating officer, global beverage packaging, Ball Corporation.
