About EMR

EMR is a global leader in metal recycling. We are privately owned with a heritage dating back to the 1940s and employ almost 3500 people operating at 150 locations around the world.

Our core business is the recycling of scrap metal from a range of sources such as End-of-Life vehicles/consumer products, industry, construction and demolition. This results in sales of recycled commodities of around 10 million tonnes a year. We have extensive ferrous and non-ferrous operations worldwide and produce over 100 grades of high quality recycled materials which are taken to market by our substantial road, rail and shipping network.

Supporting our core activities are a range of specialist divisions including industrial clearance, total waste management, ship breaking, servicing local government service providers, solder production, cable, copper and aluminium granulation facilities and environmental consultancy. Also, through our own and our joint venture activities we are working towards becoming a zero waste company.

Our reputation and financial strength

EMR is a reliable and financially robust market leader which is demonstrated by the fact that we continue to grow even in difficult economic conditions. We maintain our position at the forefront of the industry for innovation and integrity whether you're selling to us or buying from us and strive to provide the service of a local independent, with the capabilities of a large corporate. We are also committed to corporate social responsibility, to our workforce, local communities, our customers and the environment.

Collection or delivery

EMR is well-versed in making your life easy. We have over 150 recycling centres worldwide and we can either take delivery at your nearest site, or for large quantities, come and collect from you. We handle everything from one-off deliveries of a few kilos, to contracts of thousands of tonnes, helping you meet your recycling targets, while maximising your profits. We also have mobile balers, shears and heavy lift capabilities available on request and all of our collection vehicles are monitored by our advanced computer tracking system to ensure security.

While it will feel like you're dealing with a local independent, you're guaranteed the unshakeable reliability of a large global organisation.
