Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety Certification and Waste Permits

ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that sets out a framework of essential elements for putting an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) in place. The standard is designed to address the delicate balance between maintaining profitability and reducing environmental impact.

Each established UK site is ISO 14001 accredited, with our new CRT recycling centre in Ellesmere Port working towards it.

ISO 9001 helps Sims Recycling Solutions to improve customer satisfaction, staff motivation and helps create a culture of continuous improvement.

It is a quality framework used by over ¾ million organisations in more than 150 countries.

The Sims Recycling Solutions sites at Dumfries, Salisbury and Stalybridge hold ISO 9001 certification. Our recycling centres at Newport and Ellesmere Port are working towards it.
