Company to promote Earth Day by highlighting precious metal recovery

The upcoming Earth Day is to take place on the April 22nd and sees business, charities and citizens from around the world pledge to do something for the environment -- such as planting trees, going vegetarian and cycling to work.
The campaign so far has generated nearly a million green pledges from people all over the world.
One company in particular, Sims Recycling Solutions, will be actively participating in Earth Day be convincing companies and individuals to recycle electrical items through using precious metal recovery to help bring the project together.
Sims Recycling Solutions states that electrical and electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world.
Furthermore, companies and citizens in nine different countries are being encouraged to locate unwanted electrical goods whether it is from their own homes or offices and take them to one of Sims' recycling centres.
As well as this, Sims wants to help illustrate the urgent need to recycle unwanted electrical and electronic equipment so that the resources of precious metals can be protected.
Sims will open its recycling centres in North America, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, India, South Africa, Sweden and the UK over the weekend of Earth Day, on April 21st and 22nd.
The events in the UK will be happening in Daventry, Dumfries, Harlow and Widnes.
By improving the processes of recycling and precious metal recovery, metals from the items contributed will be recovered and then will be sent over to manufacturers who will turn the metals into brand new products.
Graham Davy, Sims Recycling Solutions chief executive officer, declared: "Electrical and electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the developed world, so we urgently need to responsibly recycle more of this waste to ensure it is not sent to landfill or to illegitimate recyclers, where hazardous chemicals can pollute the earth and precious resources are lost forever."
