Novelis revealed they are working on a beverage can made of 100% recycled aluminium in their Q1 results conference call and described it as the “ultimate sustainable package.”
Evercan is currently under development at their innovation centre which opened in June in Georgia.
While discussing the Q1 2013 results, Philip Martens, Novelis president and CEO, said the firm is looking to take their innovations in automotive aluminium into beverage cans.
This required a new mindset, breaking down the barriers that have existed for decades. Evercan has a revolutionary single alloy with a can body and can end which would make it easier to…and recycle time and time again.
“While we are still working on this product to ensure that we can produce it in an effective and cost efficient manner we are confident that it is these types of innovative solutions and customer partnerships that will continue to drive our success going forward”.
Novelis reported sales for the quarter of $2.6bn, down 16.1%, attributed to a decrease in volumes and a $626 per ton fall in average aluminum prices.
