Sustainability is at the core of what we do and how we operate.

For more than 100 years, Radius has recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals—steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, among others—creating value from materials that might otherwise end up in landfills. We work every day to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

Environmental Management

Our ISO 14001:2015 certified Environmental Management System (EMS) considers operational complexities—from intake procedures and material inspection needs to air quality, water use, and stormwater management requirements. It addresses environmental impacts specific to our Company and offers a uniform approach to ensuring compliance with regulations and improving efficiency through resource conservation.

Through our comprehensive EMS, we record and analyze performance data to make thoughtful business decisions and implement controls that protect our people, the environment, and the communities where we live and work.
