Welcome to the

New Zealand Association of Metal Recyclers

NZAMR is the national professional association of New Zealand's metal recycling industry. Metal is a resource - not a waste - and our members provide New Zealand recycling services and a multi-million dollar export industry. We promote the interests of this important sector whilst informing and educating the public and government about the importance of metal recycling.

To reduce emissions and do our part for climate change, we operate our national not-for-profit organisation from a virtual office.
