♻️ Leading the Conversation on the Future of Recycling Today, ALFED CEO Nadine Bloxsome and Industry & Skills Development Manager Rachel Wiffen are attending the 2026 @womeninrecycling Conference at the stunning Birmingham Council House. The conference opened with a strong message from Amy Bird, who emphasised that recycling is no longer a “nice to have” but a vital foundation for the global transition to electrification, AI and renewable energy. The morning sessions also featured a non-ferrous market update from Lucy Thomas of Hydro Wrexham and a Women in Recycling Board Member, highlighting the major forces shaping the recycling sector. Key insights: ✨ Demand for recycled metals is growing rapidly 🌍 Recycled copper can reduce CO₂ emissions by ~65% ⚡ Recycled aluminium uses up to 95% less energy 🤝 Collaboration across supply chains is becoming increasingly important A great start to a day focused on leadership, collaboration and the future of recycling. #WomenInRecycling #CircularEconomy #RecyclingIndustry #Aluminium #Metals #Sustainability
