The recycling industry’s largest gathering
returns to Las Vegas
(Washington, DC)- Registration is currently underway for
ISRI2016 – the world’s largest annual gathering of scrap recycling
professionals - to be held April 2-7, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in
Las Vegas. This year’s convention and exposition, produced by the Institute of
Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) is set to provide scrap recyclers from
around the world with the educational and networking opportunities, product
showcases, and industry news needed to maximize their time, dollars, and return
on investment.
“The ISRI show has become the
most important meeting in the industry each year with participants typically
coming from all fifty U.S. states and from more than fifty countries across the
globe,” said Chuck Carr, vice president of member services for ISRI. “The
show’s value comes from how well it is programmed to meet the present needs of
the industry. With a level of uncertainty in the market unseen in years,
recyclers need to glean every piece of information they can to remain
competitive and ISRI2016 will provide that much needed information.”
Workshops this year will focus
on the aspects of business needed to know to keep the doors open in challenging
times. Some of those workshops include:
- Using the
Tax Code to Your Advantage in a Down Market;

With Your Banker In Tough Economic Times;

State of DRI in the U.S. Ferrous Market;
- The
Increased Use of Aluminum in the Automotive Industry; and
