IT assets that are not of sufficient standard for internal re-use or external remarketing, or sensitive OEM prototypes that need destroying can be recycled through Sims Recycling Solutions. These advanced UK electronics recycling plants have the capacity to process over 180,000 tonnes of electronics waste each year, recovering ferrous metals, non ferrous metals, precious metals and plastics. Our advanced technology results in high yields of recovered materials for subsequent resale and high levels of compliance to environmental standards.

The Sims Recycling Solutions e-waste recycling centres in Newport, Wales; Dumfries, Scotland; Stalybridge, England; are all certified to ISO 14001 Environmental Management standards.

  • Each of our e-waste recycling centres recovers hazardous substances found in electronic equipment such as cadmium or lead for environmentally friendly treatment and/or disposal.
  • Our processes meet and often exceed standards for recovery and recycling of e-waste in line with legislation such as the WEEE Directive and Hazardous Waste Regulations.

Sims Recycling Solutions has invested in specialist highly mechanised facilities for cost effective and environmentally friendly disposal of:

  • CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes) from computer monitors, recovering leaded and unleaded glass cullet for recycling
