About us
EMERGE Recycling is a social enterprise rooted in sustainable resource management, social value, and quality service. As a licensed waste carrier, we cater to diverse customer needs, including business waste, confidential shredding, food waste and waste electrical equipment. Our specialist treatment infrastructure allows us to manage waste efficiently, promoting the principles of the real 3Rs: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle.
Our Social Mission
Emerge 3Rs
Converted from EMERGE Recycling – the original social enterprise was born in May 1996 – EMERGE 3Rs became a registered charity in 2009, its operating strands are all centred on sustainability.
With the waste hierarchy of the Real 3Rs (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle) at its heart, EMERGE repurposes reclaimed timber in Touch Wood collected by social enterprise ‘sister’ EMERGE Recycling, processing the wood for resale, or creating upcycled products. EMERGE 3Rs also runs the Greater Manchester operation of FareShare, redistributing in-date food, donated by supermarkets and other suppliers, to front line charities, community centres, schools and humanitarian initiatives across the city region. This food is primarily fresh produce with a short shelf life, which, prior to FareShare’s involvement, would have gone to waste.
