Environmental certificates and licences
Each Sims Recycling centre has ISO 14001 accreditation, which is the standard for environmental management. All business processes have environmental impacts and risks. We believe that those implications should be routinely managed as part of the business, just as production or finance or human resources are managed.
Each Sims Recycling Solutions e-recycling centre holds appropriate licensing for the processing of e-waste from relevant national or local government organisations.
ISO 14001 is a powerful management tool for doing just that, and generates real benefits for our company, our customers and our environment.
These benefits include:
- Process improvement
- Environmental cost reduction
- Better relationships with regulators
- Better relationships with insurers, investors, and financial markets
- Product improvement
- Marketing advantages
- Better control of liabilities
- Reduced regulatory burden
- Protection of company image and name
As Sims Recycling Solutions continues to expand its services in Asia and Australasia, ISO 14001 accreditation will be at the heart of our plans for providing high quality services to our customers.
