The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI), Washington, D.C., has released a series of fact sheets designed to educate policy makers, media and the public about the domestic scrap recycling industry and its contributions to the U.S. economy, job creation, environmental protection and energy savings.
“The scrap recycling industry is not only growing in size, but is continuing to play a more and more important role in job creation, helping level the U.S. trade balance, and strengthening the economy as a whole,” Robin Wiener, ISRI president, says. “Despite this, many misconceptions about the industry continue to linger. ISRI is a clearinghouse of information about our industry, our members and how what they do is having a positive impact in local communities and around the world.”
ISRI also included two new fact sheets to its roundup. Visitors to its website will now find a fact sheet geared towards educating children about recycling and a safety fact sheet added to the mix.
