Expanded recycling facility up to 100,000 tons

Novelis commissioned a 14 million euro recycling centre expansion at ALUNORF in Neuss. The world’s largest aluminum rolling operation is a joint venture of Novelis and Hydro Aluminum. The new melting furnace will recycle 50,000 tons of aluminum scrap per year to feed the ALUNORF rolling mills. Aluminum manufacturing scrap from customers across Europe as well as from its own facilities will be processed. With the expansion, the combined capacity of the plant’s integrated recycling operations is 100 000 tons per year. Another important milestone in Novelis‘ ongoing commitment to sustainable manufacturing, ensuring a steady source of metal for the rolling operations. Additionally ALUNORF provides energy for heating and hot water to local residents fueled entirely by the residual heat generated from the plant‘s 13 melting furnaces. This avoids the release of 12,000 tons of CO² per year.
