The Canadian Association of Recycling Industries is the national organization of Canadian recycling industries. It was founded in 1941 after the federal government sent out an urgent request to Canada's leading scrap processors to help in the war effort by organizing into a unified force to collect and process scrap for Canadian metallurgical plants. Today it is comprised of companies ranging from individual scrap collectors to technologically advanced, capital intensive processing plants. Members are engaged in the recycling of all commodities, but the majority deal primarily or exclusively in metals. 1, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Association%20of%20Recycling%20Industries

L'Association canadienne des industries du recyclage est l'organisation nationale qui regroupe les sociétés canadiennes actives dans le secteur du recyclage. Elle fut fondée en 1941, après que le gouvernement du Canada eût fait parvenir une requête urgente aux plus importantes entreprises de traitement de ferraille, les enjoignant de participer à l'effort de guerre. La mission qui leur fut alors confiée était d'unir les forces des marchands de rebuts métalliques afin de récupérer et de traiter le métal recyclé destiné aux usines métallurgiques canadiennes. De nos jours, l'ACIR représente des compagnies allant de simples récupérateurs de ferraille à des entreprises capitalistiques qui utilisent les technologies les plus avancées pour recycler toutes sortes de matériaux. Bien que nos membres soient actifs dans le recyclage de toutes sortes de matières, la majorité se concentre principalement ou exclusivement sur les métaux. 1, record 1, French, - Association%20canadienne%20des%20industries%20du%20recyclage
