ReMA 2026 Recap: The Energy Behind the Recycled Materials Industry

ReMA 2026 in Las Vegas brought together a wide range of companies across recycling, manufacturing, and equipment. It was a strong reminder of how connected this industry is and how much progress is happening on the ground.

For CASS, the week was about showing up, connecting with partners, and reinforcing the role recycled materials play in supporting domestic manufacturing.

This year, we set out to bring something different to the show floor. The result brought together industry strength, creativity, and vision in one place. With Rolland Berry’s artwork integrated into a piece of working equipment, it demonstrated how different parts of our industry can come together in a meaningful way. Recycling, manufacturing, design, and community all playing a role.

We appreciate Clement Industries for partnering with us, and Rolland Berry for bringing a creative perspective that pushed this beyond the expected. This collaboration reflects how our industry operates at its best. Working together, supporting one another, and being willing to do something different to show who we are and how we operate.

It was also great to see that same spirit reflected beyond the booth. During the week, our President & CEO, Edward B. Kangeter IV, was recognized for his contribution to the latest issue of The Recyclist, with the presentation made by Bureau of International Recycling President, Susie Burrage. Moments like that reinforce the importance of sharing insight and helping shape the direction of the industry.

Spending time at ReMA reinforced something we see every day in our operations. Recycled materials are not secondary. They are a core part of how manufacturing moves forward. The conversations throughout the week pointed to the same priorities: reliable supply, consistent quality, domestic sourcing, and a growing focus on how materials are produced and managed over time.

At CASS, this is exactly where we operate.

We produce low carbon aluminum made from 100% recycled aluminum, using a chlorine free process that supports both performance and responsible production. Our role is to keep materials in circulation and deliver the consistency our partners rely on.

ReMA continues to be a valuable opportunity to step back and see where the industry is heading. The direction is clear: stronger alignment between recycling and manufacturing, greater focus on supply chain stability, and continued investment in how materials are processed and delivered.

We are proud to be part of that progress.

If we did not connect during the show, or if you are looking to strengthen your recycling or aluminum supply strategy, contact us to start the conversation!
