Greener Metal Manufacturing Starts With Sims Metal
As Australia’s leading metal recycler, we keep resources in circulation, out of landfills, and help lower the environmental footprint of the infrastructure Australians rely on every day.
Our commitment to responsible, safe and sustainable metal recycling supports Australia’s growth while protecting the natural resources that shape our future.
Our Role in Australia’s circular economy
By supplying high-quality recycled raw materials, we support manufacturers in reducing reliance on virgin materials and more energy-intensive primary production processes. Here’s how it’s done:
WHAT WE DELIVER
Our expertise and scale give Australian manufacturers the confidence to grow
sustainably and competitively, delivering:
Consistent, high‑quality
recycled feedstock
A dependable supply chain in a resource‑constrained world
Lower-carbon pathways for domestic manufacturing
A practical way to reduce environmental impact
IMPACT AT-A-GLANCE

Sustainability has defined Sims since Albert G. Sims’ first recycled load in 1917. Today, we pair advanced technology with deep expertise to drive decarbonisation and circularity across Australia and beyond. We’re also reducing our own footprint through energy efficiency, renewable energy, reduced waste, the progressive electrification of equipment and strong environmental management.
