About us

Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS) specializes in providing resourceful solutions to manage different streams for retired electronic equipment, components and metals. SLS plays a key role in helping local, national and global companies manage ongoing technology shifts by securely and responsibly recycling electronic products, managing the disposition of IT equipment and providing data center decommissioning services. SLS works with businesses and major cloud companies to provide periodic decommissioning of older data center equipment, as well as with companies that are closing down their corporate data centers as work moves to the cloud. The IT asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling services offered at SLS ensure clients of data security, brand protection and maximum IT value recovery, while optimizing material reuse and supporting the circular economy. As a responsible corporate citizen, we continuously seek new ways to broaden our participation in the environmental sector. For more information, visit www.simslifecycle.com.

  • Leadership in the circular economy requires commitment to both strategy and digital innovation. We are pleased to announce that our Chief Commercial Officer, Sean Magann, and our Chief Digital Officer, Chris Guarini, will also be attending the Open Compute Project Foundation EMEA Summit in Barcelona this year. Their presence underscores our dedication to providing executive-level support for our global partners as they navigate the complexities of sustainable data center growth and digital transformation. If you are an executive attendee interested in discussing high-level strategy regarding hardware lifecycles or digital infrastructure, please reach out to schedule a meeting or visit us at Booth B43. #ExecutiveLeadership #DigitalTransformation #CircularEconomy #OCPBarcelona26 #DataCenters

  • AI infrastructure is redefining what “end of life” really means. As GPU-enabled systems evolve rapidly, many compute platforms are now entering a second lifecycle. GPU servers built around earlier and current generation accelerators, including A100 and V100 architectures and other next-generation platforms, still carry significant performance and market value when managed with the right level of discipline. At Sims Lifecycle Services, we support this by applying hyperscale grade lifecycle discipline management to GPU servers and advanced compute platforms. This process begins with a secure chain of custody and configuration handling for high-value systems by utilizing detailed asset tracking across accelerator, memory, and system-level components. We can provide the testing and validation necessary to support reuse or resale based on specific performance profiles and global market demand. Our ITAD+® model is built to help organizations responsibly transition GPU grade infrastructure into its next phase. Through extended global resale market development and logistics capabilities designed for enterprise environments, assets reach the right buyers in the right regions at the ideal time. Accelerated compute does not lose relevance overnight. With a dedicated lifecycle partner, these high-performance systems gain a second runway that maximizes both value and sustainability. #AIInfrastructure #AcceleratedCompute #DataCenterLifecycle #ITAD #CircularIT #ValueRecovery #SimsLifecycleServices

  • Negotiation isn’t just a business skill; it’s a life skill!  At SLS, we believe in empowering our people with tools that work beyond the boardroom. From aligning with stakeholders to negotiating a project deadline, clear communication is everything.    That’s the "why" behind our "Let’s Talk Negotiation!" workshops. We’ve traded lectures for high-energy, practical sessions where our teams dive into real world scenarios and master the art of the win-win.    The journey so far: We’ve officially touched down in the UK, the Netherlands, and Poland, and the feedback has been incredible.  It’s clear that our teams are as passionate about growth as we are.     A huge shoutout to Justyna Kaszak, Agnieszka Janik, and Shana Martin, CPTM, for leading this initiative, and to our leadership team for the support. It’s also been a privilege to bring in the academic foundation from WSB Merito University to help grow our global culture of collaboration.    #LifeAtSims #Negotiation #ContinuousLearning #TeamGrowth #SimsLifecycleServices

  • Let’s stop treating technology as disposable. Every year, millions of tons of IT gear are labeled "end of life." At Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS), we see things differently. To us, that’s not an end, it’s a new beginning. This #EarthDay2026, we’re celebrating the Circular Economy in action. When we choose to reuse, redeploy, and recycle, we do more than just manage waste. Together, we are: ·       Lowering carbon footprints by reducing the need for new raw materials. ·       Securing data while giving hardware a second life. ·       Saving energy by keeping functional components in the loop.   This year’s theme is "Our Power, Our Planet." At SLS, we’re doing our part by increasing our use of renewable electricity across our global Circular Centers to power a cleaner future for IT. In fact, we’ve already reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 71%! Sustainability isn't just a goal; it’s a process. We’re proud to help our partners reach their Net Zero targets, one device at a time.   Want to see how we use #AI and Robotics to drive these results?

  • Exciting news: our new chapter is officially here! We’ve been on an incredible journey, transforming from a traditional #ITAD provider into a global technology refresh partner for enterprises, #hyperscalers, and #manufacturers. To mark how far we’ve come, we’re so excited to finally share our new website with you all. You can check out the fresh look and updated messaging at www.simslifecycle.com which now features full English support along with new dedicated sections for our German and Japanese communities. This rollout is really just the first step in a much bigger evolution for the Sims Lifecycle Services brand, and we can’t wait to show you what else we have in the works. We’d love for you to take a look around and let us know what you think. Thanks for being such a big part of our story!   #SLS #TechRefresh #CircularEconomy #Innovation #Sustainability

  • We are heading to the Open Compute Project Foundation EMEA Summit on April 29-30, and we have packed everything you need to build a more sustainable data center into Booth B43. There is a lot happening at our space this year. You can get hands-on with our RackRenew #OCP ORV2 Demo Rack in person and learn how we deliver remanufactured nodes in just 2-4 weeks. Beyond the hardware, our GTM Director Mark Hall will be presenting on outsmarting supply chains, offering a deep dive into how remanufactured racks can slash lead times and deployment costs for growing organizations. Our team on the ground, including Michael Espada, Patrick Bliemer, and Łukasz Olszewski, will be available at the booth to discuss your specific infrastructure and decommissioning needs. We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona and building a more circular future together!  #OCPBarcelona26 #OCPEMEA #DataCenters #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ITAD #SustainableIT #OpenCompute
