It has never been more important for businesses to step up and take account of the environmental impact associated with their operations. For example, in the UK, businesses account for over 85% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This means that taking corporate action should be our number one priority in helping prevent climate change.
Looking to do our part for the environment, Recycling Management Ltd engaged with Carbon Neutral Britain™ in the summer of 2021 with the ambition of accurately measuring and offsetting the total organisation’s emissions. In other words to become a CARBON NEUTRAL BUSINESS.
Despite the Government encouraging organisations to take action and measure their emissions on a voluntary basis – as the most effective tool in monitoring and reducing their climate impact, many do not. Recycling Management Ltd are possibly the first in our industry to take on the challenge and we are very pleased now to have been certified as a Carbon Neutral Business. You can see our certificate below.
Importantly our new carbon emissions report helps us identify our total carbon footprint – measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), a set unit to ensure carbon offsetting is accurate, and it reverses our environmental impact to achieve carbon neutral status – increasingly important for our customers, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. The report also highlights areas for us to improve upon to ensure at the next measuring point our emissions are also lower. All of this means that you can now be assured that when you sell your scrap metals to Recycling Management Ltd you are directly offsetting the part of your carbon footprint involved in the collecting and processing of your scrap metals.
As a recycling business servicing manufacturing and engineering companies across the UK we understand that we have almost an obligation to show our customers and stakeholders the lead when it comes to all matters for the environment. Our promise is to help reverse our environmental impact to achieve consistently carbon neutral status, whilst at the same time helping our customers go some of the way in offsetting their carbon footprint for the collection and processing of their scrap metals.

Recycling’s At Our Core
We see metal recycling as an essential part of the modern day supply chain, producing secondary raw materials in base metallic form for re-use by end users and specialist foundries and consumers. Fundamentally an essential part in a circular economy.
