An introduction to metal processing

Recycling Lives has within its portfolio a facility dedicated to the processing of ferrous and non ferrous metals (magnetic and non magnetic). The facility is capable of processing recovered materials from all metal categories and is licensed to process ¼ million tonnes per annum.

Our key ferrous products are steel and iron. Non-ferrous products are stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass.

Metal grades are segregated, processed and baled for sale to home foundry markets as well as export markets.

Recycling Lives stands as a recognised leader in the metal recycling industry, with over 40 years of industry experience, using the latest machinery and equipment to process the materials we handle.

We possess all relevant accreditation to national and international governing bodies, such as the BMRA (British metal Recyclers Association) for metals recycling and AQSIQ for far eastern exports.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
