MRW (Materials Recycling Week) is the market-leading business magazine and website in the recycling and waste management industry.
Since 1912, Materials Recycling Week (also as Waste Trade World and Materials Reclamation Weekly) has published weekly news articles, features articles and pricing information. Its current focus is on the recycling and waste management sector in particular, materials processing and reprocessing, waste management and collection, retail waste and recycling, construction waste and recycling. www.mrw.co.uk has existed since 2004 providing daily recycling and waste management news articles, video interviews with key figures from the recycling and waste management sector, jobs listings and more. The team that publishes MRW also organises the National Recycling Awards - the leading awards event in the recycling and waste sector and for others who recycle.
It is known for its well established recycling and waste management materials pricing information and market trends data and analysis covering commodity markets for recyclates and the LME (London Metal Exchange).
In the above areas, articles include legislation and regulation from the UK, European Union and beyond. It also looks at areas such as energy from waste, new technologies such as anaerobic digestion (AD), mechanical biological treatment (MBT) and gasification and more traditional waste management techniques such as composting and organic recycling.
Traditionally, MRW was the magazine of the scrap trade and today articles still cover in depth ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paper and cardboard recycling, textiles recycling, plastic recycling, glass recycling and in more recent years everything from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries recycling, end of life vehicles and more.
It is now read by everyone from its core recycling and waste management market to recycling officers in local authorities, new and more established recycling and waste management businesses, as well as those looking to invest in the sector.
MRW is published by Emap Ltd which also organises the RWM Exhibition, a conference programme from MRW Conferences and magazines such as Construction News, Retail Week, Local Government Chronicle, Architects Journal, Health Service Journal, New Civil Engineer and Drapers. It also owns WGSN, Spring Fair and more. Emap Ltd is owned by Guardian Media Group and Apax Private Equity. |
