Who we are // M&R Recycling Solutions

We are truly committed to making the very most of our expertise to systematically recover metal raw materials so that they can be reused by people and industry. Because this is what we believe in, not just because we want to make money. Acting responsibly to curb climate change and conserve natural resources has been part of our DNA ever since our company was founded over 40 years ago. We began driving forward the green economy, therefore, long before the term had even been thought of.
