Fridge recycling - preventing harmful ozone depleting substances entering the atmosphere

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.

The recycling plants can also process air conditioning units and insulated panels, safely removing hazardous materials and recycling metallic, plastic and other commodities.

Commercial organisations, producer complicance schemes and recyclers can:

1. Deliver end of life domestic or commercial fridges to your local Sims Recycling Solutions centre
2. Deliver fridges to your local Sims Metal Management licensed WEEE disposal centre
3. Contact our national logistics operation to assist with transportation

Further information about our processes can be obtained from the two fridge recycling plants:

• Newport fridge recycling facility, South Wales
• Billingham fridge recycling facility, County Durham
