About EMR

Company Overview
EMR's purpose is to create a future where the materials we use don't need to be extracted from the planet.   We recycle over 10m tonnes of metal and plastics each year, anything from an aluminium can to an aircraft carrier. This saves 12 million tonnes of CO2 compared to virgin ore, equivalent to 3,776,224 acres of Amazon rainforest. We work internationally with industry, government bodies and the general public to turn end-of-life materials, including consumer products, vehicles, and materials from industry, construction, and demolition, into valuable resources – making the circular economy a reality.
