The British Metal Recycling Association (BMRA) has launched a new sustainability hub exclusively for the use of BMRA members. The hub offers a single place to measure emissions, identify emission hotspots, learn and implement carbon reduction methods, and access carbon offsetting.

The Sustainability Hub, which includes a bespoke metals recycling Carbon Calculator, aims to guide users toward resources and information that can educate employees and allow you to make tangible progress towards net zero.

The Sustainability Hub is the culmination of more than a year’s work, which has leveraged the BMRA Secretariat’s and members’ expertise, including that of the Carbon Action Committee.

The Hub contains guides and strategies to assist members in their own journeys towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions with offerings from experts in their fields such as carbon offsetting and carbon literacy training, as well as BMRA’s flagship product, the bespoke metals recycling Carbon Calculator.

The user-friendly calculator enables the measurement of scope 1 and 2 emissions, the emissions that are under your operational control and the emissions you are most likely able to work towards reducing.

There is a handy how-to-use guide along with a video to assist in navigating the tool.

The launch of the Hub represents a major milestone in our move towards a green economy and an ambition to create the world’s first national net zero metals recycling industry.
