Watch Out! Here Comes the ISRI!
No, we are not talking about a government taxing entity.
We just wanted to get your attention.
Did it work? The ISRI stands for the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries and they are the good guys.
It is a private not-for-profit trade association whose members make up of over 3000 industrialized companies world wide, 1600 of them are in the Unites States.
These companies utilize ferrous and non ferrous metals, rubber, plastics, textiles, glass, paper and other materials in the daily manufacturing of their products.
The nonprofit international organization is conveniently based in Washington, D.
C and their members are huge lobbyists and advocates for recycling and environmental concerns.
Just about every sort of scrap, or left over material after something is cut in the manufacturing process can be recycled.
This means paper, metals, plastics and more.
Think of putting a pattern down, tracing it and cutting it out.
The leftovers are the scrap.
Instead of tossing it away, you send it back to be reused.
It just makes sense not only environmentally but economically because more than likely you have already paid for what you did not use.
The president of the ISRI states that the past few years have seen a huge increase in the demand for recycling scraps due to the volatile economy.
Companies want to cut corners by using their cuttings.
The turmoil is that there are not enough facilities to handle the demand.
He stated in the annual report of 2009 the next few years will be challenging ones because of the state of the world's commerce.
The by-product is what is good for the economy is even better for the environment.
There is a new movement to help gel industrial, governmental and non-profit organizations in the scrap recycling effort in order to handle the new demands.
This may take awhile, but the consequences look promising for the "green" education of more and more of our world's citizens.
ISRI even has a monthly magazine available called SCRAP.
But a new scrap material is getting attention as it joins the recycling band wagon.
It is food! It is estimated that 35% of the average American homes trash is food scraps.
There is a growing demand for recycle containers strictly to house food scraps to be recycled into compost for farmers and landscape businesses.
It just goes to show; almost everything we touch on a daily basis can be recycled.
