Greener Metal Manufacturing Starts With Sims Metal
As North America’s leading metal recycler, we keep resources in circulation, out of landfills, and help lower the environmental footprint of the infrastructure North Americans rely on every day.
Our commitment to responsible, safe and sustainable metal recycling supports North America’s growth while protecting the natural resources that shape our future.
Our Role in NORTH AMERICa’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:

Sustainability has defined Sims since Albert G. Sims’ first recycled load in 1917. Today, we pair advanced technology with deep expertise to drive decarbonization and circularity across North America 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.
Sims Limited designates the FY26 Sustainability Databook as our Climate-Related Financial Risk Report pursuant to California SB 261. The report has been prepared in alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and includes our current assessment of climate-related financial risks and the measures we are taking to mitigate and adapt to those risks. We are continuing to develop enhanced quantitative disclosure of financial impacts and scenario analysis. These expanded disclosures will be reflected in our FY26 Sustainability Datebook, in line with the ongoing implementation of the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS).
Sims Limited also designates the FY26 Sustainability Databook as our Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (California SB 253) disclosure. The report includes audited Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and has been independently assured by Apex for the reporting period.
