We exist to promote the idea and practice of the real ‘3Rs’ of waste reduction, reuse and recycling, and the wider concepts of resource efficiency and sustainable consumption. 

Make a Material Difference in the Heart of Greater Manchester with our new Share offering: www.emergerecycling.co.uk

Grown from a voluntary initiative in 1996, “East Manchester Environment & Resources Group Emerge”, EMERGE continues to be based in the post-industrial heartlands of East Manchester on New Smithfield Wholesale Market. The Group currently employs 33 local people, has over 45 regular volunteers and work placements, and as an open membership entity, has a wide range of individual and organisational supporters.

EMERGE provides a range of unique, customised and flexible options to meet your business needs. As well as enabling your organisation to be fully compliant with environmental and data-protection legislation, by using EMERGE you can rest assured that we recycle to the max whilst helping you reduce waste and attendant disposal costs. Additionally, we 
can assist your CSR goals by adding value through our charitable works*.
