The VELUX Group has entered a multi-year commercial agreement with Novelis, the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, for the supply of high recycled content aluminum. This means flat-rolled aluminum made from more than 70 percent recycled content will be used to manufacture VELUX roof windows and accessories to further reduce carbon emissions.
It follows an initial letter of intent between Novelis and VELUX Group entered in 2022. Now, a long-term commercial agreement replaces this and confirms the goal to reach a level of 3 kg CO2eq/kg flat rolled aluminum or below by 2030.
“This agreement really demonstrates our strong commitment to reach this very ambitious goal within just five years,” said Klaus Lorentzen, senior vice president products and innovation for the VELUX Group. “It also secures the steady supply for several years of a key roof window material with a desirably low carbon footprint. With more than 70 percent recycled content, this Novelis aluminum is key for our efforts to decarbonize VELUX products.”
Novelis is a leader in driving low-carbon aluminum solutions and has been a supplier to VELUX for more than 40 years. Since 2022, the companies have been collaborating closely to reduce the carbon footprint of the aluminum used in VELUX products. To date, more than 50 percent of the aluminum supplied by Novelis to VELUX has been replaced with high recycled content.
