ISRI releases annual 'Membership Directory and Industry Guide'

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), Washington, has released its annual Membership Directory and Industry Guide, which includes comprehensive information on ISRI member companies, including their key personnel, business type, equipment used, commodities handled and contact information. The publication is one of the key benefits of an ISRI membership and offers an important industry resource, according to the organization.

“A primary goal of ISRI is to connect recyclers with other buyers and sellers of scrap from around the world,” says Robin Wiener, president of ISRI. “That is why each year, ISRI members look forward to the publication of the Membership Directory and Industry Guide as it serves as a who’s who in the industry. Now through our online and mobile app versions, we have made it faster and easier for others to connect and conduct business. In the coming year, we will continue to look for new ways for our membership to expand their reach and find new markets.”

This year’s directory is a 340-page publication that contains completely updated information on all ISRI member companies and branch locations, presenting the data in three easy-to-use sections: Locations, Companies and Individuals. In addition, the directory also includes increased information in the Locations section that identifies companies that are members of the Circle of Safety Excellence™ and those that are certified to RIOS™ (Recycling Industry Operating Standard). Also, the content in the front section on ISRI’s member programs and services has been revised and updated.

The print Membership Directory and Industry Guide also offers information on ISRI’s board of directors and committees, councils and related organizations, a listing of ISRI staff, details on ISRI's arbitration program, ISRI chapter boundaries and member companies in the association's two national chapters—the Paper Stock Industries Chapter and Scrap Tire Processors Chapter. The directory ends with the Buyer’s Guide that lists ISRI associate members that provide equipment, technology, products and services to the recycling industry in more than 110 categories.

Members in good standing will receive their directories, an ISRI member benefit, in the coming weeks. (Copies are available to non-ISRI members for $950.) The number of copies each member company receives is based on its dues levels. A digital version of the new Membership Directory and Industry Guide also is available on the members-only side of the ISRI website. In addition, ISRI members can access the directory in the Members Only section of ISRI Mobile, the association’s mobile app for iOS and Android users.
