RWM Digital Focus is our webinar series that offers a deep dive into a particular subject area.
Covering hot topics in the industry from expert organisations, our Focus seminars are a one-off and give you one hour of unique and unmissable content and learning from authorities on the subject.
Using recycled materials to create new products has a huge environmental benefit, saving between 50% and 90% of the energy and water consumed to create the virgin equivalent. However, at present they still come with some environmental cost. At EMR, we have embarked on a ten year journey to create sustainable raw materials with a net-zero carbon footprint. To achieve this, we are exploring new technologies and ways of working to design carbon out of our business and to be the partner of choice for materials management in a circular economy.
Roger Morton, Managing Director of Innovation & Technology , EMR
Roger, a chemical engineer, joined EMR in March 2020 as Managing Director for Technology and Innovation bringing with him 19 years of experience within the recycling sector.
Prior to this, Roger had held various general management positions within the chemical, textile and building material industries before co-founding Axion Consulting and Axion Polymers in 2001. Axion was at the forefront of development of novel treatment processes for non-metallic materials, which led to the establishment of Axion’s advanced end-of-life vehicle recycling plants in Salford (2006) and Trafford Park (2011).
Rogers current activities include leading the RECOVAS partnership which is creating the first UK end-of-life supply chain for electric car batteries and participating in the REAP partnership to develop processes for recycling rare earth magnets. Both of these projects are guided by EMR’s sustainability strategy, Our Decade of Action, an ambitious ten year plan to create sustainable materials with net-zero carbon footprint.
