Novelis to Make UBC Purchasing Changes

Novelis North America, Mayfield Heights, Ohio, has announced that it will change its aluminum used beverage container (UBC) procurement strategy at end of its current contractual commitments.

“Novelis assures its supply base that, as the world’s largest aluminum can recycler, it will continue to consume used beverage cans as a strategic metal input for the production of can sheet,” a company press release states.

“Details of Novelis’ used beverage can procurement strategy will be announced in the near future,” the late July company press release adds.

Pat Persico, Novelis manager of corporate communications, is urging current Novelis UBC suppliers to register through a Web site set up by the company at www.recycle.novelis.com.

According to Persico, the site will contain future updates on procurement strategy and will serve as a contact point between Novelis and its UBC suppliers.
