On Tuesday, January 18, Novelis Inc., the world leader in aluminium rolling and recycling, announced that the 99% recycled aluminium content in three of its alloys produced for the building and construction industry has independently been approved by GreenCircle.

The certification includes Novelis’ 3105, 3004, and 3025 alloys, produced at its Davenport, Iowa; Richmond, Virginia; and Uhrichsville, Ohio plants. These alloys are used for producing flat-rolled aluminium sheets containing 77% to 99% recycled content, destined for commercial transportation and building & construction sectors.
