Recycling Today

Recycling outdated and unwanted materials has been a part of human history for a long time. Although the Recycling Today Media Group (RTMG) may not have that extensive a history, we have been dedicated to the recycling industry since 1963, when we launched Recycling Today as Secondary Raw Materials magazine. Since our inception, we have expanded from a single publication into a diverse network of magazines, websites, e-newsletters, events, and industry databases. Together, these resources provide in-depth coverage of the recycled materials and environmental services sectors. At RTMG, we prioritize the needs of our readers by delivering the most relevant and up-to-date business insights. We also support our advertising partners by ensuring they achieve maximum visibility within the vibrant industry we serve. The environmental services sector is booming, driven by strong demand on a global scale. Companies that process recovered iron, steel, other metals, paper, plastics, and more are shipping their products worldwide, adhering to strict specifications to support various industrial needs. Demolition contractors are actively working to reduce waste by recovering and processing materials on-site, while those involved with mixed construction and demolition (C&D) materials are striving to enhance recovery rates. Waste management firms are focused on handling society's waste with environmental care. They manage everything from recycling to energy production and the safe disposal of non-reusable materials, all while protecting the environment. To thrive in this global market, industry leaders must stay updated on the latest trends and market data. This need has inspired the development of our wide array of media products. Our strong commitment to the industry is reflected in our team, which boasts over 100 years of combined experience. This expertise allows us to provide valuable market insights and perspectives that are unmatched.
