Strategic signalPartnerships
Six partnerships are on record, tiered minor and core.
- HyProMag / Mkango ResourcesminorEMR Group is part of the REACT UK consortium led by HyProMag and Mkango Rare Earths UK. The £6.5 million, three-year project aims to develop a circular supply chain for recycled neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets for electric vehicles. EMR contributes to the consortium with expertise in metal recycling and processing.
- Jaguar Land RoverminorJaguar Land Rover is part of the REACT UK consortium working to develop recycled rare earth magnets for EV applications. The automaker brings automotive industry requirements and end-use perspective to the circular supply chain project.
- Less Common MetalsminorLess Common Metals is a consortium partner in the REACT UK project for developing recycled rare earth magnets. The company contributes specialized expertise in rare earth materials processing.
- University of BirminghamminorThe University of Birmingham is part of the REACT UK consortium bringing research and academic expertise to the hydrogen-based magnet recycling (HPMS) technology development for the circular supply chain.
- OpenreachcoreEMR partnered with Openreach and Crimestoppers to urge the UK public to report copper theft from telecommunications infrastructure. The partnership addresses issues where copper theft since April 2024 has disrupted services for over 100,000 people and cost an estimated £4.3 billion over the past decade. EMR contributes to the joint effort to combat theft from the legacy copper network.
- CrimestopperscoreEMR partnered with Openreach and Crimestoppers to combat copper theft from telecommunications infrastructure. Crimestoppers provides the anonymous reporting mechanism for the public to report copper theft incidents, while EMR brings recycling industry expertise to the initiative.

EMR competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Sims Metal Management: Global metal recycling company operating ferrous and non-ferrous scrap collection and processing, directly comparable in product category and B2B mill supply model to EMR.
- Radius Recycling (formerly Schnitzer Steel): US-based ferrous and non-ferrous metals recycler supplying steel mills and foundries, directly comparable to EMR's steel-industry-focused recycling and trading model.
- ELG Haniel: Specialist non-ferrous scrap processor (stainless, nickel alloys, superalloys) with global yards, directly comparable to EMR's non-ferrous scrap recovery operations including copper cable.
Regional players
- Stena Recycling: Nordic-headquartered metal and electronics recycler with European collection networks, comparable in operating model but primarily serving Scandinavian rather than UK/US markets overlapping with EMR.
Broad incumbents
- Veolia Environmental Services: Global waste management and recycling major with metals recovery operations as part of a broader portfolio, competing with EMR for industrial scrap volumes across EMEA.
- Aurubis: Integrated non-ferrous smelter and refiner with significant recycled feedstock operations, comparable to EMR's copper and non-ferrous focus but at much larger primary-metals scale.
- Renewi: European waste-to-product company with metals recycling divisions, comparable in trading and processing activities but operating as part of a broader municipal and commercial waste portfolio.
- Boliden: Nordic mining, smelting, and metals recycling group with substantial secondary lead and copper recovery, overlapping with EMR's non-ferrous scrap collection and processing.
- Umicore: Materials technology and recycling group with non-ferrous and precious metals recovery operations, comparable to EMR in circular metals but with a much broader downstream materials business.
Others
- TOMRA: Supplier of sensor-based sorting and separation equipment widely used by metal recyclers; comparable as an enabling technology provider into EMR's downstream processing value chain.
