Our Objectives

Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling

Promotion of Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling

To advocate, promote, and advance the recycling of non-ferrous metals to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact.

Circular Economy Advocacy

To champion the adoption of circular economy principles within the non-ferrous metal industry, emphasizing waste reduction and sustainable resource use.

Circular Economy Advocacy

Industry Collaboration

To foster collaboration among industry stakeholders, recyclers, manufacturers, policymakers, and communities to drive collective efforts towards sustainability.

Resource Efficiency

To promote resource-efficient practices, including recycling technologies and responsible waste management, within the non-ferrous metal sector. .

Resource Efficiency

Awareness and Education

To raise awareness among industry stakeholders, businesses, policymakers, and the public about the benefits of non-ferrous metal recycling, circular economy principles, and waste reduction.

Promote a formal and well-organized recycling ecosystem adopting energy efficient processes for recycling leading to lower carbon footprints and to work towards sustainable development and intergenerational equity.
Promote energy transition in the recycling industry.
Evolve a responsive ecosystem by involving all stakeholders.
Minimize the effect of end-of-life products on landfills and environmental pollution by promoting an environmentally sound processing and recycling system for secondary industry.
Work towards economic wealth creation, job creation and increased contribution to GDP through metal recycling.
Adopt data-based analysis and policy making at all stages of recycling chain to determine and utilize opportunities available for enhancing extraction of metals, improve trade and commerce and derive economic benefits from scientific recycling.
Promote 9Rs principles of Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle and Recover through scientific handling, processing and disposal of all types of metal scrap, through authorized centres /facility.
Promote production of high-quality scrap for quality secondary production thus minimizing the dependency on imports.
Shift towards a circular economy in the coming years for base metals, critical raw materials and other essential materials.
Achieve technological leadership in scientific methodology, process know-how, facilities and best practices for collection, processing and value addition in entire scrap recycling process.
Developing a database of segregators, dismantlers, recyclers, collection centres etc. for facilitating the recycling activities to transition to an organized sector.
Assisting in organizing and formalizing value chains and improving ease of doing business with domestic and international partners.
Promotion Of Public Procurement of goods with targeted content of recycled/secondary metals
Establishing Quality standards for scrap used for recycling in consultation with BIS.
Ensuring process standards, like Recycling Industry Operating Standards (RIOS) established by Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) or similar, are put in place.
Work in coordination with MoEF&CC for effective enforcement of regulations through CPCB, SPCB and State Governments to prevent illegal scrap aggregation, processing and recycling
Assist in monitoring of scrap recycling facilities through a method of periodic inspections and review of scrap dismantling and recycling units.
Increasing the number of collection and processing centres v of in organized sector.
Develop performance indicators and a mechanism for ranking and evaluation of units in coordination with MoEF&CC and Other stakeholders.
