EMR wins awards in UK

United Kingdom-based metals recycler EMR Ltd. has won 2023 Recycling Business of the Year and Metals Recycling Business of the Year awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management.

A May ceremony in London marked the 20^th anniversary of the event, organized by the Environment Media Group business unit of RoarB2B. Environment Media Group also organizes the annual RWM recycling trade fair in the U.K. and manages LetsRecycle.com.

In receiving the Metals Recycling Business of the Year award, EMR which also operates scrap yards and auto shredding plants in the United States, says it was recognized for decades of experience in the reuse and recycling industry.

“This award is a celebration of the organization’s commitment to turning end-of-life materials into valuable resources," the company continues. "This includes consumer products, end-of-life vehicles and materials from industry, construction and demolition.”

The Recycling Business of the Year category is made up of award winners in all the raw material categories. In winning that award, EMR says it was recognized for its commitment to sustainability.

“We’re very proud to be recognized [as] Metals Recycling Business of the Year and to also win Recycling Business of the Year is incredible," EMR Managing Director Ian Sheppard says.

Those commitments include its efforts to promote a circular economy on a global scale, its drive to be net zero by 2040, its offering of sustainable careers and its support of its communities and young people, the firm says.

“We want to say a huge thank you to everyone that supports our mission. Without our loyal customers and our passionate, dedicated and hardworking team, EMR would not be the global leader it is today,” Sheppard adds.

“The EMR team is working hard to provide our customers with innovative, high-quality products so that the materials we use don’t need to be extracted from the planet, and we can eventually avoid depleting natural resources. Every day we are making good progress to reach our targets for net zero operations and we’re keen to help everyone in our value chain do the same.”
