Novelis Inc. has completed a $2.5 million infrastructure investment at its Warrington recycling plant in the United Kingdom. The investment enables a 25 percent increase in the plant's capacity to recycle used beverage cans.

 

Over the first nine months of this year the Latchford Locks facility recycled six billion UBCs, establishing a new plant record. Globally, Novelis recycled more than 30 billion cans in 2004, making the company the world's largest UBC recycler.

 

"This investment is in addition to the continuous process improvements that have progressively increased the Warrington plant's recycling capacity," said Nick Madden, president of Novelis' European Can, Litho and Recycling business unit. "It demonstrates our commitment to recycling and reconfirms our ability to meet the can reprocessing requirements across Europe."
