ReMA Elects New Leadership to Guide Recycled Materials Industry at Pivotal Moment for U.S. Manufacturing and Supply Chains
(April 20, 2026- Washington, D.C.) – The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has announced the election of its 2026–2028 slate of national officers, welcoming new leadership at a critical time for U.S. manufacturing, global trade, and supply chain resilience.
Elected by ReMA members during the ReMA2026 Convention and Exposition, the new officers will guide the industry as demand for recycled materials continues to grow and policymakers increasingly focus on strengthening domestic supply chains.
Andy Golding of Kripke Enterprises will serve as Chair of ReMA for a two-year term, leading the association’s strategic priorities around advocacy, visibility, and member engagement. The ReMA Board of Directors elected the following members to round out ReMA’s leadership:
- Chair-Elect – Neil Byce, CW Metals
- Vice-Chair – Sean Daoud, PNW Metals Recycling, Inc.
- Secretary/Treasurer – David Bestwick, Dominion Nickel Alloys
“It is an honor to serve as ReMA Chair at such an important moment for our industry,” said Golding. “Recycled materials are essential to manufacturing and infrastructure, and we’re focused on delivering that message. We are a high-tech, high-stakes, high-impact industry, and we provide critical outputs that build, power, and drive America.”
The newly elected leadership team will work closely with ReMA members, lawmakers, and stakeholders at the federal and state level to advance policies that promote recycling, remove barriers to trade, and ensure that recycled materials remain a competitive and reliable input for manufacturers in the U.S. and around the world.
“At a time when policymakers are focused on strengthening U.S. manufacturing and securing supply chains, our industry is already delivering solutions,” said ReMA President Robin Wiener. “This leadership team understands both the challenges and the opportunity ahead, and they are ready to ensure recycled materials remain central to America’s economic competitiveness.”
The elections took place during ReMA2026, the association’s flagship event held this week in Las Vegas, which brought together more than 5,600 industry leaders from across the recycled materials value chain. The convention provided a forum for members to discuss key issues including global market dynamics, regulatory developments, workforce challenges, and innovation in processing and manufacturing.
