Who Is ISRI?

Who is ISRIWho is ISRI? A lot of scrappers have asked us in the past about this thing called ISRI and 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 are there to protect both scrap yards and scrappers. Finding out what ISRI about is important in the scrap metal world, and we think that the organization as well as many of the people that work inside of it are very relevant and positive for the scrap world.

With so many laws and regulations across the nation for scrap metal purchasing, ISRI and their team continues to represent scrap and recycling companies in a POSITIVE manner. Their dedication to the industry helps clear the clouded negative perception of things that involve the scrap industry. By having charity events and learning experiences in school systems to educate about recycling and the positive relationship that it has in the world around them.

Life Beyond Scrap Metal

Not only does ISRI work with the metals, but they also have to do with all recycling industries. Plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, and all other types of materials that can be reused is what they focus on to help the industry grow. One of the important 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 iScrap App promote.

It is hard for a small recycling facility to really have a voice sometimes outside of their own 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 their voice out there.

Scrap metal is a business and and industry that needs representation in order to keep the honest people honest while selling their scrap metal and to protect those who are vandalized and robbed from. The scrap world is constantly changing, whether it be pricing, laws, new metals, or more. ISRI becomes more and more important as the days and years in the recycling industry move on and it is difficult to really get a firm grasp on what is going to happen with the laws and regulations going forward without organizations and individuals from the ISRI community.

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

Recycling facilities across the world know who is ISRI and how they help the community. Hopefully this gives you a little more insight as to how they lobby governmental agencies, help the recycling community, and really make sure to have positive recycling vibes across the landscape.
