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 ReMA 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;
  • How To Work With Your Banker In Tough Economic Times;
  • The Current State of DRI in the U.S. Ferrous Market;
  • The Increased Use of Aluminum in the Automotive Industry; and
  • How to Make Money in Plastics Recycling.

ISRI2016 will feature the widely attended and popular Spotlight series, including: Ferrous Spotlight, Copper Spotlight, Aluminum Spotlight, Nickel/Stainless Spotlight, Paper Spotlight, and Tire Spotlight providing the most up-to-date market analysis available anywhere.

ISRI’s Exhibition Hall will feature the most comprehensive trade show floor of any recycling themed convention anywhere with many exhibitors featuring software and equipment designed to lower operating costs and improve productivity.

ISRI holds blocks at five major hotels in Las Vegas. Hotels will fill up fast, so early booking is strongly encouraged.

More details, including hotels and registration information can be found on the ISRI2016 website: www.isriconvention.org.
