Sims Recycling Solutions has made a commitment to be the market leader in the innovative recycling and recovery of consumer goods. Demonstrating this commitment, we were the first operator of a dedicated static fridge recycling plant in the UK and further capital investment has consolidated our position as UK market leader, taking our annual recycling capacity to 750,000. Our technology exceeds the UK legal requirements for the safe disposal of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and betters levels achieved in mainland Europe. We can guarantee a fully audited process that maximises recovery rates at competitive costs, for the domestic and commercial markets.

The Service
The fridge recycling plant uses world leading technology to fragmentise domestic and commercial fridges within a sealed environment so that Ozone Depleting Substances can be safely removed for destruction. The remaining materials are separated mechanically into individual product streams including steel, non-ferrous metals, plastic and foam. These products are marketed drawing upon our expertise in the secondary materials markets. The result is high recovery and recycling rates, working to best environmental practice with a cost efficient process.

Our specifically built commercial fridge breakdown facility allows us to reduce large commercial fridges, in an environmentally sound manner, to a size compatible with our fridge recycling plant giving us the ability to cope with a wide variety of fridge sizes.

We additionally partner with Social and Community Groups in order that refurbishment of fridges, where possible can be undertaken, so that they can be re-used as high quality, low-cost appliances.

Location
Sims Recycling Solutions’ fridge recycling facility is based in Newport. Sims Metal Management UK Limited has numerous collection sites spread strategically through England and Wales and a highly developed transport infrastructure, allowing a comprehensive service for the collection of End of Life Fridges.
