What Is ISRI? iScrap App Partners with ISRI to Strengthen the Scrap Industry

Who is ISRI

Who is ISRI?

Many scrappers ask us, “What is ISRI?” and why it matters when they visit scrap yards. ISRI stands for the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries , an organization dedicated to supporting the recycling industry across the U.S. and internationally.

Many scrap yards are ISRI members, attending conventions, meeting with government officials, and advocating for fair scrap metal laws to protect both scrappers and scrap yards. ISRI is crucial in ensuring recycling remains a strong and respected industry.

What Does ISRI Do for the Scrap Industry?

With many laws and regulations surrounding scrap metal recycling, ISRI represents and advocates for the industry, working with policymakers to ensure positive change. They also help reshape public perception of scrap recycling through educational programs, community events, and sustainability initiatives.

Beyond Scrap Metal: ISRI’s Impact on Recycling

While ISRI is deeply involved in scrap metal, they also focus on plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, and other recyclable materials. They aim to strengthen all recycling sectors by spreading knowledge, supporting businesses, and fostering innovation.

Having a voice in the industry can be challenging for small and independent recycling facilities. ISRI acts as a bridge between scrap yards and government agencies, ensuring that even the smallest businesses have representation in regulatory discussions.

iScrap App & ISRI: A Stronger Industry Together

At iScrap App, we share ISRI’s mission to strengthen the scrap industry by providing scrappers with real-time scrap prices, industry insights, and connections to local scrap yards. That’s why we’re proud to partner with ISRI to help scrappers and yards stay informed, follow best practices, and improve the recycling experience.

Through this partnership, iScrap App and ISRI are working together to:

  • Improve industry awareness by sharing ISRI’s initiatives and updates.
  • Enhance accessibility to scrap yards and prices through the iScrap App.
  • Promote responsible scrapping by supporting ISRI’s efforts in safety and sustainability.

A Valuable Asset for Scrappers & Scrap Yards

Scrap metal is a business and industry that needs representation in order to keep honest people honest while selling their scrap metal and to protect those who are vandalized and robbed. The scrap world is constantly changing, whether pricing, laws, new metals, or more. ISRI becomes more and more critical as the days and years in the recycling industry move on, and it isn’t easy to grasp what will happen with the laws and regulations as we advance without organizations and individuals from the ISRI community.

Events like the annual scrap and recycling convention, which happens every year in March or April, bring together thousands of executives in the scrap and recycling world and really show who ISRI is and who is ready to help create a more positive community in the scrap metal world. It is hard to grasp the depth and detail of the industry until you see hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of recycling members gather at the convention.

At iScrap App, we’re committed to empowering scrappers with tools to find local scrap yards, get real-time pricing, and stay updated on industry trends—and our partnership with ISRI only strengthens this mission.

Until next time…scrap ya later!
