Sims Lifecycle Services opens new center in Florida

Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS), a West Chicago, Illinois-based company focused on information technology asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling, has opened its Innovation Center in Tampa, Florida. 

According to a news release from SLS, the new site is dedicating to increasing the redeployment, reuse and recyclability of retired IT equipment, including data center material.

SLS says the Innovation Center will “build on the success of past projects,” such as the HP plastics project. Through that project, HP and SLS have partnered to create a sustainable plastics recovery strategy. The center also will accelerate the creation and adoption of new sustainability opportunities. 

“We have put resources into creating cleaner commodity streams to increase recyclability, and with our new Innovation Center we can build on those efforts and help create products that are highly reusable, reducing everyone's carbon footprint,” says Sean Magann, global vice president of sales and marketing for SLS.

SLS is a division of Australia-based Sims Ltd. and a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
