Symposium 2025 Light Metals Keynote Session
Presentation Title From Bankruptcy to Global Aluminum Recycling Leader
Author(s) Phil Martens
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Phil Martens
Abstract Scope This keynote will explore the remarkable transformation of Novelis Inc., from its origins as a bankrupt spin-off to becoming the world’s leading recycler of aluminum. The talk will highlight the critical organizational changes and restructuring efforts that underpinned the company’s resurgence. In addition to strategic acquisitions and technological innovation, Novelis underwent significant leadership and cultural shifts, focusing on operational efficiency and a customer-centric approach. Key milestones, such as the implementation of closed-loop recycling systems and the development of advanced aluminum alloys, will be discussed, along with the company’s bold commitment to sustainability. These efforts not only drove financial recovery but also positioned Novelis as a pioneer in the circular economy. The keynote will also cover the company’s broader impact on the aluminum sector, including its role in reducing global carbon emissions. Novelis' journey exemplifies how resilient leadership, organizational overhaul, and sustainability can together fuel long-term industry dominance and environmental responsibility..
