Novelis to Expand & Upgrade Aluminum Recycling Capabilities in Greensboro

Release time：Nov 04, 2019 From：admin

Novelis Inc broke ground on a USD 36 million investment to expand and upgrade recycling capacity at its Greensboro Georgia US facility. The investment includes adding state-of-the-art equipment for aluminum scrap recycling, a new baghouse for improved dust mitigation and enhanced designs for safer and more efficient traffic flow. The company expects to complete the project by fall of 2021. The investment will expand Novelis' capabilities in automotive closed-loop recycling, a process to take aluminum scrap created during stamping and recycle it for new vehicle production. Closing the loop preserves the value of the alloy, reduces cost, minimizes environmental impact and establishes a secure supply chain. The facility will also continue to recycle used beverage cans for the beverage packaging industry.

Opened in 1980, Novelis' Greensboro facility is responsible for pioneering the majority of Novelis' recycling technology.
