Novelis wins European award for Jaguar recycling programme at ALUMINIUM 2016

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

Rolled aluminium and recycling giant Novelis has bagged the prestigious European award for its closed loop car production project - the REALCAR (REcycled ALuminium CAR) at ALUMINIUM 2016, in Düsseldorf, Germany. The project with Jaguar and Land Rover won the award in the automotive and transportation category.

JLR launched the closed loop programme in 2008 and in 2015 it recovered over 45,000 tonnes of press-shop aluminium scrap. As a partner in the project, Novelis also came up with a new aluminium alloy with up to 75% recycled aluminium content. The alloy retains the strength, formability, and durability required for automotive engineering. It was first used in the Jaguar XE vehicles, and is now used in all legacy models going out of the JLR stable.

President of Novelis Europe, Emilio Braghi said that it was a proud moment for the company to be acknowledged for its endeavours in the areas of aluminium recycling and alloy innovation.

“This prize is a testament to the skills and talent of our people, who are constantly working to develop new alloys, innovative applications and revolutionary designs that leverage the unique properties of rolled aluminium," said Braghi. “It also honours the close partnerships we build with our customers to ensure the next generation of vehicles is built to maximize the attributes of aluminium."

JLR's REALCAR program is a multi-stakeholder initiative established to create a closed-loop vehicle production model that recycles automobiles at the end of their lifecycles. The RC5754 aluminium alloy, uniquely developed by Novelis to serve the REALCAR program, is designed to absorb higher levels of processed automotive aluminium scrap than ever before.
