Global e-Recycling and ITAD

SLS offers data security, refurbishment, reuse, remarketing and recycling services for all types of IT, electronics, communications and media assets. Our network of owned and operated facilities provides a single chain of custody for disposition of assets.

Field services – decommissioning and data destruction

Our field services teams provide onsite services for clients including decommissioning retired IT equipment, installing new equipment and providing data destruction for storage devices while equipment is still within your custody.

Owned and operated ITAD and e-waste recycling facilities

SLS has owned and operated processing facilities throughout the Americas, EMEA and APAC. We are a business of Sims Limited, a global publicly listed company, offering governance and resources to ensure your corporate interests are protected.

MIDAS auditing program of subcontractors and downstream vendors

In some regions, SLS uses subcontractors to extend geographic coverage for global clients. To ensure that subcontractors meet our high standards of operation, we developed MIDAS, a process and software for subcontractor auditing and management. MIDAS enables us to systematically score and track subcontractors and downstream vendors. Our clients benefit from knowing that all processing is done according to environmental best practices, that processing is standardized, cost effective and compliant and that SLS offers transparency throughout our entire supply chain.

Standardized global delivery model

SLS is able to offer a globally secure and consistent service due to our standardization of operations across our facilities. Our security program ensures protection of data and assets as they are processed. It specifies complete control between client sites and our facilities and identifies the internal controls that SLS has implemented to ensure proper accountability to our clients. We provide data destruction solutions for tapes, magnetic drives and solid state drives. We can perform these services at your locations or at our processing facilities.  Our standard processes, capabilities, expertise and capacity enable us to support the most robust global disposition program with secure, consistent and coordinated service capabilities.

Global accounts are managed regionally and coordinated globally

SLS operates regionally to address local concerns. The regional teams coordinate with our Global Service Center Managers (GSCM), located in the Americas, EMEA and APAC.  Our GSCMs play an important role to deliver quality service for our global clients as well as aid to protect them from international fines. The role of the GSCMs is to provide consultative and advisory services relating to material movement and disposition across country boundaries.  They manage our subcontractor network and understand unique country legislation governing e-waste.  The expertise of this team ensures regulatory and legal frameworks are adhered to in all parts of the world.

This structure ensures:

• Service delivery is timely and consistent across all geographies and aligned to client expectations
• Single point of contact for change requests, new or modified capabilities, additional services and geographies
• Single interface for information on site capabilities and accreditation
