Sims Recycling purchases West Coast e-waste firm

Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS; Chicago, IL), the recycling arm of Sims Metal Management Ltd. (Sydney, Australia), has acquired Genesis Recycling Ltd., an electronics waste recycling firm headquartered in Langley, British Columbia. Genesis recycles discarded electronic products (e-waste) for government, business, and industrial customers in British Columbia. The company holds current ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and Responsible Recycling (R2) certifications. “With our strong presence in Ontario and eastern Canada, this acquisition was an attractive opportunity for Sims Metals Management to enter western Canada and further strengthen its North America SRS electronics recycling business,” said Steve Skurnac, president of SRS Americas.
