Key Issues with Electronics Recycling

Unlike the recycling of aluminum cans or plastic drinks bottles, redundant electronics have some significant risk exposures, both environmentally and with respect to data security and identity theft. These risks need to be managed and it is important that you assess the capabilities of your electronics recycler.

Data Security

The number one issue for most individuals and companies when disposing of redundant electronics is Data Security. There is a wide range of Data Security Regulations that apply and many companies have experienced Data Loss Disasters. Sims Recycling Solutions' secure facilities follow stringent data security protocols and procedures to ensure complete compliance with all regulations and peace of mind.

Environmental Responsibility

Domestic recycling of old electronics prevents harmful chemicals leaching from our landfills and stops the dumping of hazardous wastes in developing countries. Sims Recycling Solutions operates to the highest Environmental Standards and Environmental Responsibility is integral in our operating ethos.

Choosing Your Recycler

Differentiating between competing electronics recyclers is a difficult task for the uninitiated. The only sure-fire way to be comfortable with your recycler is to undertake a site audit, but if that isn't possible see our guide to Choosing Your Recycler for some tips.
