Brenner Recycling: Leading the Way in a Responsible and Innovative Industry

Brenner Recycling is proud to be a part of the vibrant, modern, innovative, and responsible scrap recycled materials industry. For more than 100 years, this industry has continually evolved to save countless natural resources by transforming old materials into new, valuable resources. By doing so, the scrap recycled materials industry has provided essential raw feedstock to manufacturers and producers, while significantly reducing the waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators. This dual benefit underscores our tagline: “Conserving the Future, By Recycling the Past”—a testament to the impact of recycling on our world.

Recycling Works for the U.S. Economy

The scrap recycled materials industry is a significant contributor to the U.S. economy. According to a study by the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), the industry supports more than 534,000 well-paying jobs and generates nearly $117 billion in economic activity. Additionally, it contributes $13.2 billion in federal, state, and local tax revenue. The marketplace for recycled materials is dynamic, continuously adapting to the changing supply and demand for various commodities globally, ensuring its critical role in economic sustainability.

Recycling Works for the Environment

Recycled materials are environmentally preferable and energy-efficient feedstocks, supplying over 40% of global manufacturing needs. Recycling not only reduces waste but also lessens our dependence on landfills and incinerators. Remarkably, two out of every three pounds of steel produced in the U.S. is made using steel scrap, resulting in 58% less carbon dioxide emissions and using 60% less energy compared to making steel from ore. This significant reduction in environmental impact highlights the crucial role of recycling in combating climate change and conserving energy.

At Brenner Recycling, we are committed to advancing the principles and practices of this vital industry. We believe in the power of recycling to drive economic growth, create jobs, and protect our environment. By working together, we can ensure that recycling works for everyone.
