EMR

EMR (European Metal Recycling) is one of the world's leading metal recycling companies, processing metals and other materials into sustainable raw materials for manufacturers. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Warrington, England, the company grew from a family business into a global enterprise employing over 3,500 people, with operations in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.

The company's core activity is the recycling and processing of metals - including copper, aluminium, brass and stainless steel - into more than 200 types of sustainable raw material. EMR recycles some 10 million tonnes of materials annually, an effort it estimates saves around 19 million tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere each year. Alongside this, EMR runs specialist services in marine recycling (covering vessels from aircraft carriers downward), automotive salvage and vehicle recycling, wind turbine decommissioning, advanced battery recycling, and total waste management solutions designed to divert waste from landfill.

EMR works across the manufacturing, automotive, marine, renewable energy and waste management sectors, supplying low-carbon recycled materials to manufacturers. The company describes its purpose as building a future where materials need not be extracted from the planet, operating under an "Everything Must Recycle" philosophy oriented towards the circular economy.
