Sims Metal

Sims Metal UK

Sims Metal UK is the country's second largest recycler of ferrous and non-ferrous metals with sales over 2,000,000 tonnes annually. Its national collection infrastructure and processing network offers a total solution for the waste sector, industry and the public community.

Its satellite network of collection and transfer facilities channel scrap metal flows into several world class multi-process hub facilities, strategically located for domestic steel and foundry customers or on dockside facilities, allowing access to near Continental markets as well as deep sea destinations.

The three main recycling processes undertaken by Sims Metal UK are shredding, baling and shearing. Sims Metal UK's five shredders produce approximately 1,000,000 tonnes annually of high quality shredded furnace feed from end of life products, primarily consisting of End of Life Vehicles and Consumer Goods. Its baling operations produce high quality, low residual bundles from new industrial scrap. Its multiple hydraulic shearing capacity produces cut grades from obsolete scrap for the steel and foundry industry.
