ISRI is now ReMA

The US Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) has officially rebranded to the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA).

The new name, rebrand and logo better reflect the evolution within the recycling industry and its member companies, officials told the body’s annual convention and exposition in Las Vegas.

Washington, DC-based ReMA represents recycling industries including ferrous and nonferrous metals, electronics, glass, paper, plastics, textiles and tyres and rubber. 

Public awareness

It is a member-driven trade organisation that provides advocacy, education, safety and compliance training. It also promotes public awareness of the vital role recycled materials play in the US economy, global trade, the environment and sustainable development.

ISRI was formed in 1987 when the Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel merged with the National Association of Recycling Industries. Over the past 35 years, the association has seen major growth in the size and diversity of its membership, particularly in electronics, consumer brands and EV battery sectors. 

The trade association has around 1 700 member companies across the US and another 40 countries.
