Simsmetal, the largest metal recycling company in the world, is the proud new sponsor of the Hunter Service's Crew Chief Graham Nickisson from August 2007.

Simsmetal provides a wide range of services including material handling and logistical solutions to industry, both large and small, government and the public. Other specialised services include resource recovery through mobile processing equipment, testing and analysis of metals and total waste management solutions.

Unlike other recyclables, such as plastics and paper, metal can continue to be recycled indefinitely, contributing to savings in energy, greenhouse gas production, environmental degradation and waste disposal. Recycled metals consume significantly less energy and water, and produce less air pollution, than smelting processes. It has been estimated that, compared to manufacture from virgin materials, recycled steel:

• Uses 74% less energy
• Uses 40% less water
• Reduces air pollution by 86%
• Reduces water pollution by 76%.
