British Metals Recycling Association

The British Metals Recycling Association is the trade association representing the £7 billion UK metal recycling sector - a globally competitive industry supplying environmentally friendly raw material to metals manufacturers. BMRA is run by members for members and gives advice on technical, regulatory, legislative and environmental issues.

BMRA’s 300 members trade and process steel, aluminium, copper and most other ferrous and non ferrous metals, and recycle a wide range of related products, such as end of life vehicles, packaging, batteries, domestic appliances, building materials and electronic goods. Together they process over 13 million tonnes - over 95% of the metallic scrap in the UK - every year; and export some 60% of their output to companies throughout the world.
