At EMR, we believe that sustainability goes beyond recycling—it’s also about supporting the natural environment as it rebuilds. Over the years, our rewilding project at EMR Oldbury has transformed an industrial site into a thriving natural habitat. By creating green corridors, planting native species, and restoring biodiversity, we’ve seen incredible results: local badgers, foxes, and other wildlife have returned; calling Oldbury home once again! This project shows what’s possible when industry and nature work together. On World Rewilding Day, we’re celebrating the power of restoration and the role businesses can play in protecting our planet. Watch our video to see some of our furry visitors! #Rewilding #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Wildlife #WorldRewildingDay

Today is Global Recycling Day! A day to celebrate the power of recycling and the role it plays in protecting our planet for future generations. At EMR, we believe every piece of metal, plastic, and electronic waste holds new potential - a chance to reduce carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and build a truly circular economy. From recycling the metals that drive the transition to green energy to pioneering new ways to recover valuable materials from complex waste, we're leading the way towards a more sustainable future. This isn't just about recycling; it's about redefining waste as an opportunity. Together, we can turn today’s waste into tomorrow’s resources. #GlobalRecyclingDay #SustainableFuture #MetalRecycling #CircularEconomy

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Today is all about celebration. Here are some simple ways to keep your festivities fun and sustainable: 🚲Travel smart – walk, cycle, or share a ride to reduce your carbon footprint. ♻ Choose reusable or recyclable cups and tableware to cut down on waste. 👕 Get creative with your outfit – thrifted and second-hand finds are both stylish and sustainable! 🎉 Opt for decorations you can reuse next year instead of single-use plastics. However you're marking the day, let’s raise a glass to a greener future!

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day, at UKRI’s Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC), we want to spotlight women innovators who are driving the transition to a more sustainable future. Helen Waters highlights the impact of women's voices, saying: “Celebrating women across industry shouldn’t be limited to a single day. At FBC, we encourage cross-sector networking to foster collaboration, improve mechanisms, and learn from each other’s experiences.” How can you accelerate action? ⬇️ Tag a woman below who’s driving innovation in batteries and let’s celebrate those making an impact! ⬇️ #IWD #IWD2025 #BatteryIndustry #Innovation #Network
