Novelis Develops New Laminated Aluminium Surfaces for Beverage Can Ends

Novelis Inc., a leading sustainable aluminum solutions provider and the world's largest aluminum recycler and manufacturer of beverage can sheet, today announced the company's new laminated aluminum surfaces for beverage can ends that will be showcased September 27 to 29 at ALUMINIUM 2022 in Düsseldorf. This innovative application improves beverage container appearance, increases production process efficiencies and lowers CO₂ emissions for European beverage brands and can makers. As a result, it further advances Novelis' leadership in the growing market for aluminum beverage packaging.

Colored aluminum beverage can ends, especially black, are particularly popular for new and innovative beverage products and energy drinks. However, producing lacquered, black ends also poses challenges in terms of color stability and can makers' production processes.
