Novelis extends partnership with Infinitum to advance aluminium can recycling in Norway

New agreement strengthens collaboration between Novelis and Norway’s deposit return system, ensuring continued high-quality aluminium recycling and efficient logistics

Novelis Inc., a leading sustainable aluminium solutions provider and the world leader in aluminium rolling and recycling, and Infinitum, a leading foundation in depositing and recycling beverage cans and non-refillable plastic bottles in Norway, announced the renewal of their successful partnership through a new long-term agreement. This milestone reinforces their shared commitment to recycle all aluminium beverage cans used in Norway.

Each year, tons of aluminium are sent from Infinitum’s facilities in Norway to Novelis’ recycling plant in Latchford, UK, where the material is processed into new beverage cans. This direct loop illustrates a functioning circular economy.

The renewed agreement provides long-term stability and creates opportunities to further improve logistics and reduce environmental impact.

The partnership supports Novelis’ 3×30 vision, which targets increasing average recycled content to 75 %, reducing emissions intensity to below 3 tonnes CO2e per tonne of flat rolled product shipped, and leading circularity through first‑mover investments by 2030.
