Novelis and Infinitum have renewed their aluminium recycling partnership, shifting focus from pilot projects to scale and supply stability. The collaboration will expand recycling systems to strengthen recycled aluminium supply and support low-carbon production. The move also aligns with Novelis’ “3x30” targets to raise recycled content to 75% and reduce emissions intensity to below 3 tonnes of CO2 per tonne by 2030. Amid supply chain volatility, scaling recycling helps secure feedstock, manage costs and advance decarbonisation goals.
