Sims Metal

SITE SPOTLIGHT 🌟   Innovation leads the way to a greener future.   As a core value at Sims Metal, we commit to excellence in everything we do and champion continuous improvement. Our Long Marston facility in the United Kingdom is a great example of our ongoing innovation and focus on improving technologies to offer high quality products to our customers.   Examples of recent innovation at the facility include sensor and processing technology that will increase our throughput capacity at this site whilst also improving quality.   At this facility, we receive non-ferrous residue waste from other Sims Metal locations as well as external supplies, and further process this residue to create a cleaner stream of material. With around 1.5M tonnes of metal processed each year at Sims Metal sites across the UK, this site plays a crucial role in enabling us to provide a higher quality product to our global customers.    The top material processed at this facility includes residue from our shredders and WEEE operations. The goal of our Long Marston facility is to close the loop on our own processes to the extent possible, while at the same time providing our global customers with the highest quality products possible.   Find out more about Sims Metal 👉 www.simsmm.co.uk #SimsMetal #MetalRecycling #MetalSensorTechnology #NonFerrousResidueWaste

Lithium-ion batteries can cause fires and have quickly become the #1 cause of fires at recycling facilities 🔋🎇 This means the proper use, and more importantly, safe recycling or disposal of lithium-ion batteries and items that contain these batteries, is critical to protecting the health and safety of all those around us. Protecting our frontline recycling workers is an imperative, as these community members are often those most exposed to the risk of fires as a result of lithium-ion batteries being sent in recycling loads or thrown into garbage. For tips on how to safely manage end of life lithium-ion batteries visit the Call2Recycle website. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ed_S-8zW Remember: ➡ These batteries are in many different household items and are so small that they’re easily and often overlooked. ➡ Please check all items ready for recycling or disposal to ensure no batteries inadvertently are included in your recycling or thrown into trash. ➡ A single small battery can have enough charge to start a large fire in a metal recycling facility, materials recovery facility (MRF), a transfer station or a landfill. #lithiumbatterysafety #batteries #sustainability #recycling #circulareconomy

We are very pleased to share New Zealand Steel’s recent announcement about their 2nd scrap steel supply arrangement with Sims Metal. Rod Bonnette, Sims Metal’s Chief Commercial Officer, ANZ and our Sims Metal NZ team members recently showed members of NZ Steel around one of our Auckland metal recycling facilities to further discuss this exciting supply partnership.

As we continue along our pathway to decarbonisation, Sims Metal is proud to share that we’ve partnered with Volvo Trucks to order our first electric heavy goods vehicle at the Newport end-of-life fridge facility located in the United Kingdom.    The new Volvo FE Electric 375 kWh battery model, charges with 100% renewable electricity and will save up to 40 tonnes of CO2e emissions each year! In addition to the emissions savings, the electric truck provides our drivers with a quieter and more comfortable driving experience, helping to reduce fatigue and provide a safer, heathier workplace.   This vehicle is currently in use at the Sims Metal, Newport end-of-life fridge facility and will facilitate the collection of refrigerators for recycling from our supplier network. The Newport facility is one of the UK’s largest fridge recycling centres, with a capacity for 750,000 units per year; at this site we process domestic and commercial refrigerators, air conditioning units and insulation panels to responsibly dispose of hazardous substances and recover metals for recycling.   The Volvo FE Electric joins the electric shear and the electric material handler we have recently installed at our Sims Metal site in Avonmouth, as well as other electric equipment installed across our business in the UK and globally. Sims Metal sites in the UK use 100% renewable electricity, in line with our target to achieve 100% renewable electricity use across all business divisions by 2025.   Learn more about Sims Metal 👉 https://lnkd.in/epSQRwAM   #SimsMetal #ElectricTruck #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #RenewableElectricity #CarbonEmissions #VolvoGroup Volvo Truck and Bus Centre South & East
