Empowering Manufacturers: Comprehensive Recycling Solutions and Risk Mitigation
Thursday, September 19 | 11 a.m. EDT

The initial conversation will focus on defining waste and recycling from our perspective, including considerations such as product design and in-factory processes. We will clarify key terms used by United Scrap Metal (USM) that may be unfamiliar to the audience, providing a foundational understanding of how USM approaches management of recycled materials.

During the main presentation, we will dive into USM’s strategies for waste reduction and recycling, highlighting how we support manufacturers in achieving their sustainability goals. We view ourselves not just as recyclers but as partners, providing comprehensive risk management programs that include SREA and downstream due diligence, business continuity planning, and environmental risk mitigation. We will discuss the tools and solutions USM offers to tackle common challenges faced by manufacturers, such as managing various waste streams, non-conforming products, and reducing diesel emissions. We also prioritize cybersecurity to ensure our operations do not become a weak point in the supply chain and are committed to contributing to manufacturers’ ESG metrics by optimizing routes, utilizing advanced technology, and providing certificates of recycling.

Additionally, we will emphasize the importance of USM’s partnership approach, advocating for a collaborative ecosystem rather than a mere provider of services. We’ll share testimonials from our current customers, demonstrating how our best practices have mitigated potential litigation risks. We will also explore the critical impact of Scope 3 emissions, showcasing how USM supports manufacturers in tracking and reducing these emissions. Our goal is to underscore the value of a holistic partnership that extends beyond recycled material management to foster long-term sustainability and compliance in the manufacturing industry.
