Novelis Sustainability Report Highlights Progress In Recycling

摘要

Atlanta, Georgia based Novelis, an aluminum rolling and recycling company, published its 2015 sustainability report, detailing significant progress toward increasing the use of recycled aluminum and using natural resources more efficiently. At the end of Fiscal Year 2015, Novelis achieved an average of 49 percent recycled aluminum inputs, up 19 percentage points from baseline years of 2007-2009, and a reduction in water use intensity by 22 percent. Over the past five years, Novelis has doubled its recycling capacity, helping to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 13 percent from baseline. Recycling aluminum produces 95 percent fewer GHG emissions and requires 95 percent less energy than primary aluminum production, enabling Novelis to achieve lower GHG emissions despite increasing global production capacity.
