“Alupro membership gives us extra capacity and collaboration opportunities. We support and count on Alupro to extend our reach with other stakeholders whether that’s carrying our messages to Government or coordinating and delivering communication programmes like MetalMatters and Every Can Counts. We have a lot of direct reach ourselves as a company, but it is through organisations like Alupro that we can connect with other stakeholders and other parts of our value chain to improve recycling levels” Andy Doran, senior manager of sustainability & recycling development at Novelis Europe.
Novelis, and its predecessor company Alcan, were founding members of Alupro 28 years ago when it was formed in 1989. Their continued support of Alupro has contributed to the success of programmes like MetalMatters and Every Can Counts.
