About Sims Limited

Learn more
  • Sims Resource Renewal, a division of Sims Limited, a global leader in metal and electronics recycling, and an emerging leader in the municipal recycling and the renewable energy industries that was founded in 1917, is a leading circular business that operates in line with the waste hierarchy. By 2030, we plan to divert more than one million tonnes of the material left over following the metal recycling process from landfill each year and transform it into new products. This will occur through the establishment of new global resource renewal facilities, with the first facility proposed for Campbellfield in Victoria.

    Through this business model, Sims Resource Renewal will take responsibility for its own waste now, so it’s not left for future generations to manage.

    Our Existing Metal Recycling Operation at Broadmeadows

    We have been running our Broadmeadows metal recycling operation at 1904 Hume Hwy, Campbellfield since the late 1960s. We are proud to be a member of the local community providing employment, economic development and recycling services.

    At our existing operation, we purchase and recycle discarded metal from businesses of all sizes and individuals in the surrounding region.

    Our Safety Record

    The safety of our employees and the surrounding community is always our first priority, and we have been safely operating in the recycling industry for more than 100 years

    We have a strong track record in environmental and safety performance at our Broadmeadows operation.

    We have consistently demonstrated our ability to respond to, and manage, risks in key areas of safety performance, including fire management and the wellbeing of our employees.

About Sims Resource Renewal

Learn more
  • As a division of Sims Limited, Sims Resource Renewal has a shared purpose to create a world without waste to preserve our planet.

    We plan to design and build 11 resource renewal facilities by 2030. This will allow us to transform more than one million tonnes of the shredded material (known as ASR) left over from the metal recycling process into new, quality products each year.

    New products could include aggregates for construction materials, electricity to power our resource renewal facility and co-located operations, the building blocks for recycled plastics, and other emerging energy sources.

    The products we create will be dependent on where the facility is located and local market requirements.

Resource renewal process

  • To help create a world without waste to preserve our planet we need to be able to recover more from the materials we recycle so we no longer need to send the material left over following metals recycling (ASR) to landfill. Instead we can use to create new, useful products.

    In line with the waste hierarchy, the ASR we use has had all recoverable materials removed and recycled before it is used as feedstock for resource renewal.

    For more about the waste hierarchy visit the EPA website.

    We have selected a proven technology, called plasma gasification, which operates safely around the world. This technology heats the ASR and transforms it into a mixture of clean gases known as synthesis gas (syngas). A “glass like” product is also created. Importantly this technology does not burn ASR and does not produce the types of problematic emissions that some older forms of technology can create.

    We will continually improve our technology by drawing on the latest innovations generated through our research and development. Our designs are based on European emissions standards which is the current global emissions benchmark.

    Our aim is to deliver a leading circular business model that creates value for our business and society.

  • What is ASR?

    Material known as ASR is what remains once recoverable materials are removed following the recycling of metal-based goods like cars, washing machines, and shopping trolleys.

    ASR typically includes plastics, fabrics, insulation, foam, rubber and wood. Dirt, sand and stones may also be present in small amounts, because they were a part of the original source materials for cars and appliances before the initial recycling process.

    ASR has had all recoverable materials removed and has no other viable use without treatment. It is currently treated as waste and disposed in landfill.

Learn more about the technology proposed at Campbellfield

  • Modern plasma gasification technology is used safely around the world and our designs will be based on European emissions standards, the current global emissions benchmark.

    At this facility we will immediately take responsibility for our waste and at the same time invest in the critical research and innovation required to enable us to further close our operating model. Initially electricity to power our own facility and neighbouring metals recycling operation will be produced, enabling us to access cleaner energy than currently available through the grid.

    We will also use the “glass like” material to create an aggregate product used for construction, helping to increase the use of recycled materials in critical infrastructure like roads.

    As we improve our technology, we will be able to create other products, such as, the building blocks of recycled plastics.

How we are engaging

  • Being a partner for change means creating real opportunities for community involvement in our projects.

    As part of our Campbellfield proposal we are providing ongoing opportunities to get involved and engage with us through a range opportunities including digital events and traditional engagement. We have adapted our approach to address the current COVID-19 restrictions but look forward to having face to face sessions once restrictions are eased. Current activities include:

    • Website and interactive mapping platform
    • Online surveys
    • Telephone surveys
    • Social media platforms
    • Virtual meetings and engagement sessions
    • Virtual rooms to provide information and collect feedback

    We have developed an online engagement room to support the gathering of community input into early design and the identification of potential sustainability / social value initiatives, and build our understanding of initial community feedback about our proposal.

    The room takes the experience of visiting an traditional face to face community session and provides information and feedback opportunities virtually.

  • Virtual Room 1

    Virtual Room 1 – was live from September to November 2020 and focused on:

    • Design – securing initial input into facility design principles.
    • Sustainability and social value initiatives – seeking feedback about potential local sustainability and social value partnership opportunities.
    • Environmental and planning assessment process – Understanding local values and what the local community and other interested stakeholders view as important – with a particular focus on environmental, social and economic considerations.
  • Virtual Room 2

    Virtual Room 2 will be live during December 2020 and will focus on:

    • Design - providing initial facility design concepts and asking for community feedback and input.
    • Sustainability and social value initiatives – putting forward potential sustainability / social value initiative ideas and seeking community feedback and input.
    • Environmental and planning assessment process – providing more detailed information about the proposal, our approach to environmental investigations and studies, and other key areas of focus in the works approval and planning permitting processes.
  • Virtual Room 3

    Virtual Room 3 will focus on providing more advanced information and feedback opportunities across the three areas of design; sustainability and social value initiatives; environment and planning assessment process. This will be shaped based on community feedback provided in Virtual Rooms 1 and 2 and our other ongoing activities.

Facility building design concepts

Learn more about facility building design concepts

  • What are we proposing at Campbellfield?

    The location chosen for our first resource renewal facility is next to our existing metal recycling operation at 1904 Hume Highway, Campbellfield, Victoria.

    We have been operating a metal recycling facility in Campbellfield since the late 1960s. We are proud to be a member of the local community providing employment, economic development and recycling services.

    The proposed facility will enable us to immediately reduce our environmental footprint by transforming the more than 60,000 tonnes of shredded material left over following our metals recycling process and taken to Victorian landfills every year, known as ASR, into new, useful products.

    Our proposal enables us to take responsibility for our own waste now, so it is not left for future generations to manage.

  • How was Campbellfield selected as the preferred site?

  • What environmental and economic opportunities will be created through the facility?

    In addition to immediately stopping 60,000 tonnes of shredded material going to landfill every year in Victoria, we will reduce trucking distance travelled on Victorian roads.

    We will also generate employment and industry development opportunities through the creation of about 100 jobs during construction and 20 during operations, and a focus on local procurement.

    Importantly our research and development will help position the facility globally as a leading centre of excellence on circular economy initiatives.

    The facility will help us advance towards our goal of carbon neutrality as we will optimise the design of our technology to produce a cleaner form of electricity than currently available through the grid to power our own resource renewal facility and neighbouring metals recycling operation. We will also lower the distances our trucks need to travel because we will no longer need to take ASR to landfill - which will further reduce our carbon emissions.

    As we improve the technology available to us, we will reduce our carbon footprint further because we will be able to capture the carbon present in the ASR to create new products, including recycled plastics.

Environmental and planning assessment process

  • Overview

    Sims must undergo robust environmental and planning assessment processes for the proposed resource renewal facility.

    We must secure a works approval from the Victorian Environment Protection Authority (EPA). We must also secure a planning permit. Recent changes to the responsible authority for planning permit applications for some energy generation and storage facilities mean we are engaging with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Hume City Council to clarify the process we must now follow and will update stakeholders and the community as soon as this is confirmed.

Assessment areas and interactive feedback map

  • Overview

    As part of environmental and planning assessment processes we are conducting a range of environmental studies and assessments.

    This will help Sims Resource Renewal, the community and stakeholders understand how our proposal fits within Campbellfield, and how to deliver the best environmental and planning outcomes for the area.

    Study and assessment areas include; air quality study, human health risk assessment, and noise and traffic studies. We must also develop an environmental assessment and assess and provide information on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, waste, water use, visual amenity, fire risk and management, and safety management.

  • Study geographic areas

    We are seeking community input into our initial environmental studies approach so we can consider this as we progress our assessments. The geographic area being assessed initially as part of environmental assessments is approximately a 2 km radius around the location for our proposed facility. This investigation area is informed by guidance provided within EPA Publication 1518 (Recommended Separation Distances for Industrial Residual Air Emissions) as well as our various specialist studies. As we progress our environmental studies, we will test to confirm this area is adequate.

    We are asking you as members of the local community if you have any particular points of interest within this 2 km zone you believe need to be considered as part of our assessments, as outlined in our interactive map.

    To provide feedback regarding any points of interest, please visit the interactive map.

Sustainability and social value initiatives

  • When we say we are a partner for change, we mean it. Sims Resource Renewal is creating real opportunities for community involvement in our Proposal.

    At our proposed Campbellfield facility, we will invest in our community to continue to provide social value and employment opportunities while creating a more sustainable future.

    We are currently progressing a number of sustainability/social value initiatives in partnership with the Campbellfield community. More information on these initiatives and how you can get involved will be made available on our website and as part of our next virtual engagement event.

    The work we have done to date on our environmental studies and initial facility building design concepts has been shaped by feedback collected through our first virtual engagement event and by a phone survey of the Hume City Council areas.

    We would like to thank those who have already participated in providing feedback, and we encourage you to stay involved including by providing input into facility building design and environmental studies. You can also sign up for future engagement events.

Learn more about how we are partnering for change

  • Sims Resource Renewal is genuinely committed to working in partnership with the communities in which we operate and beyond.

    Genuine engagement and opportunity creation means seeking ideas and feedback across all stages of the programme. This includes during design, as part of the environmental / planning assessment processes, and into the types of sustainability initiatives we deliver with our local communities.

    Jobs and industry development will be created through our programme in the local areas we operate, as will training and research opportunities brought on as a result of our investments in next generation technology.

    We want to hear more about how you would like to get involved and be engaged. We would also like to learn more about the types of sustainability opportunities you feel are important in your local community. Please let us know more about your thoughts by providing feedback at this stand.

About the environmental and planning assessment process

We are now working to progress engineering design, environmental studies, and environmental and planning assessment processes. Community engagement will be a fundamental part of these processes.

As part of environmental and planning assessment processes we are conducting a range of environmental studies and assessments.

This will help Sims Resource Renewal, the community and stakeholders understand how our proposal fits within Campbellfield, as well as how to deliver the best environmental and planning outcomes for the area.

About the assessment 'buffer zone'

The geographic area being assessed initially as part of environmental assessments is approximately a 2 km radius around the location for our proposed facility. This investigation area is informed by guidance provided within EPA Publication 1518 (Recommended Separation Distances for Industrial Residual Air Emissions) as well as our various specialist studies.

As we progress our environmental studies we will test to confirm this area is adequate.

We are asking you as members of the local community if you have any particular points of interest within this 2 km zone you believe need to be considered as part of our assessments, as outlined in our interactive map.

Scroll through the tabs to the left to read about the following study and assessment areas:

  • air quality
  • human health
  • noise and traffic
  • energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
  • waste
  • water use
  • visual amenity
  • fire risk and management
  • safety management.

We have created a number of options for you to provide your feedback at this early stage, including this interactive map, and the virtual engagement room. If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact the team on info.rr@simsmm.com and 1800 570 530. You can also visit our website to find out more about ways to get involved.

Assessment areas

Traffic and transport

What we are assessing?

We are assessing the anticipated changes in traffic volumes that would result from the Proposal during both the construction and operation phases.

Why?

The traffic study enables us to understand the anticipated changes to traffic flows as a result of the proposed development. Once changes are understood we are able to identify management actions that can be taken to address any potential changes to traffic network capacity (including intersections), and parking requirements.


Noise

What we are assessing?

We are assessing the potential noise effects that may occur on the area surrounding the proposed facility by modelling potential noise emissions during construction and operations. As part of the modelling process we are considering existing noise conditions around the location of the proposed facility and topographic and other factors that may influence noise levels.

Why?

This assessment will help us understand how to design the proposed facility and select appropriate equipment and control measures to minimise any changes to existing noise conditions in the area.


Fire risk assessment

What we are assessing?

We are developing an assessment of any fire risks that could potentially be created by the proposed facility. This includes a risk assessment of causes of fire as a result of operational procedures, and management of these risks.

Why?

The assessment is being undertaken to ensure that any potential risk of fire at the proposed facility is fully understood, and that appropriate designs and management measures are developed and implemented during design, construction and operation to address this potential risk and protect the safety of employees, the community and the environment at all times.

Visit the virtual engagement room to learn more about the safety record at our existing Campbellfield operation.


Air emissions and human health risk assessment

What we are assessing?

We are assessing the potential air emissions from the facility through detailed modelling and the incorporation of existing data captured through our feasibility trial and recent commercial demonstration. This will assist us in understanding and managing any potential changes to air quality that could arise from the proposed facility and ensure there are no resulting human health impacts. We are using the latest plasma gasification technology to limit the emissions produced through the resource renewal process and we will ensure we comply with the required EPA standards as contained in the State Environment Protection Policy (Air Quality Management) and EU Directive requirements.

Why?

The outcomes of these assessments will be used to inform the design of the facility, and refine operational processes and the emissions control system. This will be important in demonstrating that our technology can operate safely and achieve the most stringent emission requirements


Greenhouse gas assessment

What we are assessing?

The greenhouse gas assessment involves calculating the total CO2 emissions that would occur from all activities associated with the construction and operation of the proposed facility so we can ¬-understand its potential carbon footprint.

Why?

We are undertaking this assessment to ensure we minimise greenhouse gas emissions to the extent possible in line with Sims Limited’s aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2042 and net zero by 2050. This assessment will inform the design and operation of the proposed facility to maximise energy efficiency and seek lower CO2 emissions options.


Stormwater, land and groundwater assessments

What we are assessing?

We are assessing historical land use, existing soil conditions and potential for surface water runoff to ensure there are no impacts to the local environment, such as watercourses, as a result of our proposed development. We also want to ensure we understand any historical land use that occurred previously at our site, and any changes this may have created in the local environment, so we can also consider this in our assessment processes.

Why?

It is important that we understand the existing condition of the site due to historical industrial land use which may affect the construction and operation of our facility. We also need to ensure that land, groundwater and surface water surrounding the site are protected from any impacts from the operation of the resource renewal facility.


Waste

What we are assessing?

We are assessing the waste material (ASR) that is processed at the proposed facility including anticipated volumes, storage, and handling. We are also assessing the minimal waste that may be created through the proposed facility and how this would be managed.

Why?

We need to ensure that any waste material (ASR) processed on site is managed to the highest environmental standards. We also need to ensure that any residual waste proposed by the resource renewal process is handled and disposed of according to the highest standards. We are committed to achieving our purpose; create a world without waste to preserve our planet, and our proposed facility will operate on this basis and minimise waste to the extent possible.


Visual amenity

What we are assessing?

We are assessing the proposed design of the facility and plant, and modelling the potential changes the proposal would have on the existing visual landscape in the area. We are also conducting a broader engagement process with the local community to seek their input into facility building design.

Why?

This assessment, together with input from the surrounding community into facility building design, will assist in refining the design to ensure that the appearance of the facility complements, and where possible, enhances the local visual amenity.

Facility design and your input

Understanding local community values is an important part of the design process and we are keen to understand more about your views and ideas. We are currently seeking feedback based on a number of key design elements.

Visit the facility building design section of this room to see our initial facility designs and get involved.

Jobs and training

We will generate employment and industry development opportunities through the creation of about 100 jobs during construction and 20 during operations. There is also a focus on local procurement. We are still in the early stages of the process, for further information please register here.
