Novelis, the world's largest recycler of aluminium, has been a driving force in advancing circularity and decarbonising the aluminium industry to foster a more sustainable future. This week, Novelis' Uhrichsville plant achieved a significant milestone by being recognised as a Sustainability Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Lighthouse Network (GLN). As the first U.S.-based aluminium manufacturer to earn this distinction, Novelis is proud to join the ranks of visionary industry leaders transforming global sustainability practices.

The Novelis facility in Uhrichsville, Ohio, home to 400 dedicated employees, has earned this prestigious recognition by achieving an industry-leading 97 per cent recycled content in its 3105 alloy. Widely used in speciality products for the Building & Construction market, this milestone significantly reduces dependence on energy-intensive primary aluminium production.

"Across our Global Lighthouse Network, digital technologies are revolutionising production ecosystems. From AI-driven control towers to zero-code workflows, Lighthouses exemplify sustainable innovation, setting benchmarks millions can follow to drive transformational change across the entire ecosystem. We believe becoming a member of the WEF's Global Lighthouse Network demonstrates Novelis' industry leadership, invaluable partnerships, advanced technologies, sustainable practices at scale and adaptability to the ever-evolving landscape. ," said Kiva Allgood, Head of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains, World Economic Forum.
