Scepter to supply Novelis with high-recycled content aluminum ingot

Scepter, a secondary aluminum recycling and trading company that is based in Waverly, Tennessee, has announced a multiyear agreement with Atlanta-based Novelis to supply more than 200,000 tons of aluminum ingot featuring up to 95 percent recycled content. Novelis will roll and finish the ingot for its customers that manufacture aluminum beverage cans and food containers in the U.S.

Scepter produces recycled products at facilities in the United States, Canada and Europe. The company has produced rolling ingot from recycled scrap at its Waverly plant since 1991.

“Scepter is committed to use more scrap, reduce emissions and contribute to the overall sustainability of aluminum,” says Garney Scott, CEO of Scepter. “We are excited to partner with Novelis to continue these efforts. Our unique technology and capabilities will produce high-quality ingot that meets bold sustainable objectives set by Novelis.”

“Novelis’ purpose is shaping a sustainable world together, which recognizes the importance of working with partners throughout the industry to advance sustainability for our customers,” says Tom Boney, executive vice president and president, Novelis North America. “We’re proud to continue working with Scepter to advance aluminum as the most sustainable material choice.”

This agreement will result in an estimated carbon reduction of 1.2 million tons compared with the use of prime-based sheet ingot, supporting both companies’ sustainability objectives, according to a news release from Scepter.
