Total waste management

A growing number of organisations prefer to contract all their waste services, including metals, plastics, paper and general waste to a single supplier. Working with an audited set of partners, Sims Metal Management is able to manage the total waste arising from clients as part of the materials recovery process.  Utilising this service allows clients to gain a complete understanding of the resources recovered whilst being aware of the most cost and environmentally effective waste disposal options. Sims Metal Management’s highly mechanised industrial scale approach to processing waste ensures a high materials recovery rate for minimum outlay.

We hold licences for a wide range of consumer and industrial waste, both hazardous and non hazardous and operate to very high environmental standards.  Sims Metal Management runs continuous improvement programmes to develop operations and systems in an effort to minimise its impact on the environment.  Accreditation to ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 9001 Quality Management standards ensure best practice is driven throughout the organisation.

Health and safety is at the heart of all that we do as a business – with key sites operating to OHSAS 18001 and a record of incident reduction over successive years.
