Means to an end: Novelis-DRT target 99% recycled content end stock

Novelis has entered a joint development agreement with DRT Holdings to accelerate the adoption of high recycled content aluminum alloys in beverage can ends.

The partnership will focus on refining manufacturing processes to enable “uni-alloy” designs that can incorporate up to 99% recycled content, reducing reliance on primary aluminum in end stock production for decarbonization purposes while cutting input costs.
