Committed to environmental sustainability, Pacific Metals specializes in developing recycling programs for all types of companies. If your company
creates what you may consider “waste” it may be recyclable, give us a call to develop a solution.
Our ability to find environmentally friendly solutions
for all types of recyclable commodities makes every day Earth Day at Pacific Metals!
At Pacific Metals environmental sustainability is our driving force behind everything we do. Pacific Metals’ long history in the recycling
industry allows us to find ways to divert goods that may otherwise go to the landfill and recycle the materials instead.
The result is a greener planet and our sustainable solutions can translate into savings for you!
We are committed to continual improvement
and acting as an environmental steward for our planet.
We have continued to adhere to this philosophy over the past century and look
forward to maintaining it well into the next century. Some things must never change. This is our commitment to you.
Leon Lotzkar started this company in 1912 based on a simple philosophy: be honest, be fair, work hard, and treat your customers well. Stick to that belief and business will look after itself.

Pacific Metals Recycling International has been in the Lotzkar family for four generations since its inception. Founded in 1912 by the late, Leon Lotzkar. Pacific Metals has since changed hands twice from father to son.
Leon Lotzkar started Pacific Metals with a vision, knowing the value and potential of scrap metals. When Leon retired, his son, Joe, successfully managed Pacific Metals and became a well-respected spokesperson for recycling, habitat and wildlife conservation. Today Mark and other members of the family have carried on the tradition and work in similar recycling and environmental fields.
Mark Lotzkar is the third generation President & CEO of Pacific Metals Recycling International. Continuing his family legacy, he is sensitive to the needs of both customers and suppliers, and supportive of environmental issues. Educated and experienced in business management, Mark is the Director of NASCOOP, the trade association buying co-operative of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI).
A fourth generation of Lotzkars is now nearly ready to receive the Pacific Metals torch, and carry on a proud family tradition.
