The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has launched a new online members-only directory in March 2025. The online directory is a comprehensive listing of member contact information, products, and commodities. Used daily by members to build business contacts, the directory is one of the most valuable benefits of ReMA membership.

“There will always be a place for our physical directory, but with the rise of mergers and acquisitions within the industry and new members joining ReMA, the book can quickly become outdated,” said Brianna Gianti, ReMA’s vice president of membership. “So, we wanted to produce a better digital product for our members and ensure the information is up-to-date and accurate.”

This real-time searchable directory facilitates member-to member-only networking/contact information and provides the public with a list of ReMA’s member companies. Members can search by individual, company, product, or specific commodities handled. Building on the new search functionality, members can also search for companies that provide products, services, and equipment.

While the print directory is still provided to members on a yearly basis, the online directory is the most up-to-date, and available to members anytime, anywhere, at their fingertips.

“Before this update, if a member was looking for a baler, wire ties, or a law firm, etc. there was no way to go through the online directory to see who offered those services and products. Now they’ll have the opportunity to do so, which benefits them and helps our service provider members promote their offerings,” Gianti said.

In addition, ReMA created homepages for each member company in the online directory so when a member looks up a company, they’ll find a page that lists all the company’s locations, specific individuals in each location, as well as the commodities, products, and services connected to the company and its subsidiaries.

“This is an opportunity for members to learn more about one another and drive business to their companies,” Gianti said. “It’ll also benefit members of all types and sizes, particularly service providers that didn’t have a way to promote themselves on the old directory. Small member companies, and international members that can’t come to many in-person events will be able to network and engage in business development with members without having to leave their offices or yards. We think this will be well-received across the industry.”
