Novelis - Uhrichsville

Novelis’ recycling facility achieved 97% recycled aluminium content, significantly reducing its reliance on energy-intensive primary production. This was achieved through advanced scrap segregation, procurement strategies and digital tools, earning GreenCircle certification. Scope 3 emissions from bauxite mining and primary aluminum production make up 85% of Novelis’ carbon footprint. With a greenhouse gas intensity of only 1.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per metric ton of aluminium – far below the industry average of 5.8 metric tons – the site contributes 25% of Novelis’ North American sales and advances its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
