Novelis, the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, has announced an investment of more than $30 million for the construction of a new continuous annealing line at its facility in Plettenberg-Ohle, Germany. This additional new line will double the plant’s capacity for aluminum used in the production of coffee capsules, a market that is growing in response to increased demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
“Novelis is developing innovative alloys, such as those used in the production of coffee capsules made from more than 80 percent recycled aluminum. The investment demonstrates our commitment to serve as a reliable partner for our customers in the food and packaging industry and create more sustainable solutions for consumers,” says Emilio Braghi, executive vice president and president of Novelis Europe.
An increasing number of coffee brands are opting for aluminum instead of plastic to produce fresh, long-lasting coffee capsules to meet the growing demand from environmentally conscious consumers. In addition, aluminum is a perfect material for the circular economy and resource efficiency as it is infinitely recyclable without losing its properties.
