Sims Recycling Solutions FZE (SRS FZE) has announced the creation of a community ecosystem through alliances it has developed with Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) and Dubai Municipality. SRS FZE has been working with the EEG to share its best practices with EEG’s corporate and educational members around the UAE.
Philip Hughes, managing director of SRS FZE, says that the company is the only electronic recycling facility to achieve ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 certification in its first year of operations. “We are committed to working with EEG to raise awareness of the need to recycle electrical and electronic items such as mobile phones, IT and related equipment. Our team works continuously to educate businesses and schools on the need to implement compliant and environmentally sound business practices.”
Hamdan Khalifa Al Shaer from Dubai Municipality agrees. “We appreciate the efforts of Sims Recycling Solutions for providing environment-friendly solutions for retired IT equipment. It helps to reduce waste including toxic e-waste going to the landfills. Dubai is committed to support and encourage companies that serve the community and are keen to protect our environment.”
