Fridge recycling
Sims Recycling Solutions 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. The remaining materials are separated mechanically into the individual product streams: steel, non-ferrous metals, plastic and polyurethane foam.
These products are marketed through our expertise in the global secondary materials markets. The result is high recovery and recycling rates, working to best environmental practice with a cost efficient process.
