Alcoa is investing in the company's recycling capability with the groundbreaking of a new $22 million project at its can reclamation facility at its Tennessee Operations.
Improvements include a new crusher and delacquering furnace and supporting building enclosures, utilities and environmental systems.
The upgrade will help increase capacity using state-of-the-art environmental and fuel efficiency technologies as well as support future flexibility to process other aluminum scrap types, the company stated.
Alcoa projects it will recycle nearly 14 billion aluminum cans in 2007.
Alcoa's Tennessee Operations is the world's largest producer of rolled aluminum can sheets for beverage cans and is based in Blount County.
