Environmental Responsibility

To enable this recovery we have invested heavily in the most sophisticated shredding and separation equipment in the industry and have installed this equipment at several of our locations across North America.  By using Sims Recycling Solutions, our customers can rest assured that their equipment is recycled properly in accordance with the highest industry standards. All "recyclers" say they do not export and recycle domestically, the reality is that few actually have the facilities and equipment to match their rhetoric.

Transport and its associated carbon emissions is one of the key factors in the environmental impact of electronics recycling.  As the North American recycler with the largest number and geographical spread of recycling facilities, Sims Recycling Solutions minimizes freight saving both costs and CO2 emissions.  Further, we use only transporters with which we have long and trusted relationships to assure the security of the customer’s equipment during transit.

There is a range of Environmental Regulations currently pertaining to the correct disposal and recycling of end-of-life electronics in North America. There are many more on the way from both Federal and State/Province legislators. Sims Recycling Solutions' environmental experts monitor these laws and ensure all of your liabilities are managed.

When ewaste is managed in an improper fashion or exported to developing countries, a range of Environmental Disasters can occur. Sims Recycling Solutions policy, clearly supported by its investment decisions, is to domestically recycle waste electronics.

As you would expect from a publicly-quoted company and the worlds largest electronics recycler, Sims Recycling Solutions operates to a stringent Environmental Standard that we have set for ourselves.
