Radically rethinking recycling SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is at the core of what we do and how we operate.
For more than 100 years, Radius has recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals—steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, among others—creating value from materials that might otherwise end up in landfills.
Where Change Begins
As one of North America’s largest metal recyclers, we advance the circular economy through recovery, reuse, and recycling of the essential metals required to support global decarbonization efforts by companies, industries, and governments around the world.
