Recycled aluminium as a catalyst for sustainable mobility

Novelis received the award for its highly innovative automotive aluminium sheet, which features exceptionally high recycled content and sets new standards in sustainable vehicle production. Aluminium is lightweight, strong, and endlessly recyclable. Novelis leverages these advantages consistently. In fiscal year 2025, the company achieved an average global recycled content of 63% across all products, with specific automotive alloys reaching up to 85 per cent. Additionally, the aluminium recycling process uses approximately 95% less energy than is required to produce primary aluminium.

The award-winning solution showcases the true potential of a circular economy. By producing aluminium sheet made from 100% end-of-life vehicle scrap, Novelis has demonstrated that car-to-car recycling for high-quality outer-body aluminium applications is technically feasible. We believe this is a significant step toward decarbonising the automotive sector.

Novelis' path toward a fully circular future

Through Novelis 3x30, the company is driving the transition toward a fully circular economy. This includes expanding access to high-quality end-of-life scrap, investing in advanced recycling processes, and collaborating across the automotive value chain.
