Aluminium rolling and recycling provider Novelis has launched evercycle, which is made from certified high-recycled content aluminium for aluminium food containers.
This forms a part of the company’s plan to increase the overall recycled content of its products to 80% by 2020.
Novelis claims that evercycle is certified by SCS Global Services to contain 100% recycled aluminium, made up of 90% post-consumer content and 10% customer manufacturing scrap.
Said to be the first product in a new portfolio of certified high-recycled content aluminium for speciality applications, evercycle will enable customers to produce infinitely recyclable products with a lower carbon footprint.
Novelis president and CEO Phil Martens said: "The launch of evercycle marks an important next step in our long-term commitment to sustainable aluminium product innovation.
"Our evercycle aluminium appeals to customers who want to demonstrate their dedication to sustainability and attract the growing numbers of environmentally conscious consumers."
