Novelis has been recognised for its aluminium sheet made with 100% end-of-life vehicle scrap product.
The company has been awarded with the Münchner Management Kolloquium (MMK) Award of Excellence 2026 for the product, specifically developed for use in exterior car body applications.
The award recognises individuals, companies, and projects that drive meaningful and sustainable progress in business and society through innovation, responsibility, and foresight.
“This award affirms our commitment to shaping the future of the aluminium and automotive industries,” said Michael Hahne, Vice President of Commercial for Novelis in Europe.
“The MMK Award of Excellence highlights the importance of innovation, responsibility and collaboration – values that guide our daily work.”
The MMK is one of the leading management conferences in the German-speaking region, attracting over 1500 decision-makers from industry, academia, and politics each year.
The automotive aluminium sheet features exceptionally high recycled content and sets new standards in sustainable vehicle production.
In fiscal year 2025, the company achieved an average global recycled content of 63% across all products, with specific automotive alloys reaching up to 85%.
Additionally, the aluminium recycling process uses approximately 95% less energy than is required to produce primary aluminium.
By producing aluminium sheet made from 100% end-of-life vehicle scrap, Novelis has demonstrated that car-to-car recycling for high-quality outer-body aluminium applications is technically feasible – a significant step toward decarbonising the automotive sector.
