Sims Recycling Solution has two advanced fridge recycling plants in the UK, including the largest in the world, capable of recycling 1 million refrigerators each year. Based in Newport, Wales and Billingham, County Durham, they provide a national service to producer compliance schemes, retailers and businesses.
The fridge recycling plants use world leading technology to process domestic and commercial fridges and freezers within a sealed environment so that Ozone Depleting Substances can be safely removed for destruction.
