The metals‑recycling industry continues to strengthen in 2026 as demand for secondary aluminum and copper increases across manufacturing, construction, and energy sectors. Market research shows steady growth driven by industrial development, rising material costs, and the strategic importance of recycled metals in reducing environmental impact. As purity expectations rise and feedstocks become more complex, recyclers are investing in more advanced metal recovery systems to maintain efficiency and meet customer requirements.

Industry analysis highlights a clear shift toward flexible plant design, improved material flow, and stronger integration between shredding, granulation, and downstream separation. Facilities are modernizing to achieve higher throughput, cleaner output, and more consistent performance while adapting to regulatory pressure and long‑term sustainability goals. Recyclers are also placing greater emphasis on dust control, emissions management, and energy‑efficient operation as part of their modernization strategies, especially within non‑ferrous metal recycling.

In response to these evolving needs, Engineered Recycling Systems LLC is expanding its engineered metals‑recovery capabilities for 2026. ERS develops integrated metal recovery systems that combine liberation, air separation, density separation, and dust‑control technologies into a unified workflow tailored to each facility’s material mix and production goals. These engineered solutions support high‑purity copper recovery, efficient aluminum recovery, and reliable downstream separation for mixed‑metal streams and non‑ferrous materials.

As the metals‑recycling sector continues to advance, Engineered Recycling Systems LLC remains committed to delivering engineered systems that support cleaner operation, improved recovery rates, and long‑term operational efficiency for recyclers across North America.

Engineered Recycling Systems LLC invites readers to explore its engineered metal recovery systems.

Engineered Recycling Systems will be exhibiting at Tissue World Miami 2026, taking place April 22–24 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. ERS will be available at Booth D75 throughout the event to meet with tissue manufacturers and discuss engineered solutions for production efficiency and plant‑wide material handling.

ERS supports tissue converting operations with integrated systems for trim removal, dust collection, and scrap handling, designed to operate cleanly and reliably in high‑volume environments. These systems help facilities maintain stable production, reduce airborne dust, improve operator safety, and ensure consistent material flow from converting lines to collection points.

At Booth D75, ERS will highlight system design approaches that support modern tissue operations, including energy‑efficient filtration, high‑capacity trim conveying, and solutions for managing lightweight, high‑velocity waste streams. The focus is on long‑term reliability, clean operation, and seamless integration into existing production layouts.

ERS looks forward to meeting with tissue manufacturers, converters, and engineering teams during the show to discuss current challenges, upcoming projects, and opportunities to improve plant performance.

Engineered Recycling Systems has expanded its metals‑processing capabilities with new in house wire scrap recovery solutions designed specifically for wire and cable manufacturers. These systems support facilities that generate clean, high‑purity copper and aluminum scrap during start‑ups, changeovers, and off‑spec production runs.

The new recovery workflow allows manufacturers to process production scrap directly inside their facility, eliminating freight costs and reducing dependence on external recyclers. By keeping the material in‑house, operators maintain full control over purity, traceability, and valuation—key advantages for plants producing high‑quality copper or aluminum conductors.

ERS engineered the system to integrate cleanly into existing production environments. Each installation supports single‑stream wire scrap, stable granulation, and high‑efficiency separation, ensuring consistent purity without disrupting ongoing manufacturing. The compact footprint and low energy requirements make the solution suitable for both large‑scale operations and smaller specialty producers.

In‑house recovery also supports broader sustainability goals by reducing waste, lowering transportation impact, and enabling manufacturers to return recovered copper or aluminum directly into their internal processes. ERS provides full system design, integration, and long‑term service to ensure reliable performance across diverse production layouts.

With this new capability, ERS continues to strengthen its support for wire manufacturers seeking higher material efficiency, improved scrap management, and long‑term operational reliability.

Across the ASR processing industry, one issue continues to impact operators more than almost any other: glass and rock contamination in ASR fines. These heavy materials not only reduce recovery efficiency but also cause significant wear and tear on downstream equipment when they’re not removed early in the process.

Many facilities struggle to separate these contaminants effectively, and the problem often becomes more severe as throughput increases or material streams change. The result is higher maintenance costs, shorter component life, and reduced overall system reliability.

At Engineered Recycling Systems, we work with ASR fines processing every day, and we understand the challenges operators face when dealing with glass, rocks, and other heavy contaminants. Our ASR Fines Processing System is engineered to remove these materials as a first step, minimizing abrasion and mechanical stress throughout the rest of the process.

By addressing contamination early, facilities achieve cleaner fines, smoother operation, and longer equipment life — all while improving recovery efficiency.

If your facility is experiencing issues with glass or rock contamination in your fines stream, our team is ready to help. We can review your application, discuss your material flow, and determine the best approach for improving your fines processing performance.

Engineered Recycling Systems LLC has completed the installation of a dust collection system for a new corrugated box plant in Canada. The project required careful planning and on‑site coordination due to the facility’s low ceiling height, which limited available space for duct routing, filtration equipment, and material‑handling components.

Our crew worked on site to install the complete system, which includes CCM filtration, trim separation, baler integration, dust briquetting, and front‑end shredding. The system captures dust from the corrugated converting equipment while also separating corrugated and cardboard trim for baling. Fine dust collected by the filtration system is compacted into briquettes, reducing disposal volume and improving material handling.

Despite the tight overhead clearance and the accelerated construction schedule, the ERS team ensured that all equipment was set, aligned, and commissioned without delaying the plant’s startup. The dust collection system now supports the entire corrugated operation by maintaining clean airflow, stable conveying, and reliable dust capture.

This installation highlights ERS’s ability to adapt engineered systems to challenging site conditions while keeping customer timelines on track. The new corrugated box plant now operates with a compact, efficient, and fully integrated dust collection system designed for continuous‑duty performance.
