Novelis Inc., the world’s largest aluminum recycler and manufacturer of beverage can sheet, announced that the company is launching new laminated aluminum surfaces for beverage can ends. Novelis says that this innovative application improves beverage container appearance, increases production process efficiencies and will apparently lower CO2 emissions for European beverage brands and can makers. Colored aluminum beverage can ends, especially black, are popular for new beverage products and energy drinks. However, producing lacquered, black ends also poses challenges regarding color stability and can makers’ production processes. At Novelis’ Göttingen site in Germany, which specializes in rolled aluminum surface finishing, the laminating film is applied by a combination of pressure and heat. For beverage can makers, adoption of the laminated sheet is simple, as the production of laminated ends does not require any can line retooling. In fact, it requires less cleaning, leading to increased productivity.
