Who Is ISRI?

Who is ISRI

Who is ISRI? Many scrappers have asked us in the past about this thing called ISRI and why they need to know about it when they go to scrap yards near them. ISRI stands for Institute of Scrap & Recycling Industries and exists to help all recycling companies across the US and abroad to strengthen the recycling industry.

Many scrap yards across the US are members of ISRI and attend many conventions, meetings, and opportunities with government officials to ensure that the scrap metal laws protect both scrap yards and scrappers. Finding out what ISRI is about is vital in the scrap metal world, and we think that the organization and many of the people who work inside of it are very relevant and positive for the scrap world.

What is ISRI?

With so many laws and regulations nationwide regarding scrap metal purchasing, ISRI, and their team continue to represent scrap and recycling companies positively. Their dedication to the industry helps clear the clouded negative perception of the scrap industry by having charity events and learning experiences in school systems to educate about recycling and its positive relationship with the world around them.

Life Beyond Scrap Metal

Not only does ISRI work with metals, but it also has to do with all recycling industries. Plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, and all other types of materials that can be reused are what they focus on to help the industry grow. One of the crucial parts of recycling is knowledge, and getting more people in the US and internationally to learn and grow with the recycling trends are all areas that ISRI and other organizations like the iScrap App promote.

It is hard for a small recycling facility to have a voice sometimes outside of their community, and that’s where ISRI comes in. They are a voice to larger governmental bodies so that the thousands of smaller facilities can have a few individuals and one organization helping to Lead them into positive talks about laws and regulations. All good companies in the US want nothing but positive news and publicity for their industry, and in the recycling industry, it is no different. Whether a company is recycling the rubber from old tires or scrap metal, ISRI is there to help get its voice out there.

Valuable Asset To Scrap Metal Recycling

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.

Recycling facilities worldwide know who ISRI is and how they help the community. Hopefully, this gives you more insight into how they lobby governmental agencies, support the recycling community, and ensure positive vibes across the landscape.

Until next time…scrap ya later!
