Eco Recycling Ltd services

Recycling activities at Ecoreco commences with the receipt of e-waste material from various clients" locations. The material is initially weighed, and is separated product-wise (monitors, CPUs, printers, keyboards, etc.) for easy retrieval. The material is then checked by qualified technicians to ascertain whether the equipments are working or non-working. If the equipment is in working/ near-working condition, then the technicians attempt to repair/ upgrade the equipments to ensure that they become re-marketable and can be resold. If the equipments are not in working condition, attempts are being made to salvage components. Accordingly, the technicians dismantle the equipment into components and try to retrieve any working parts thereof.

Hazardous substances recovered during the process of recycling of e-waste are being disposed off through the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage & Disposal Facility, commonly known as CHWTSDF, authorized by the Pollution Control Board in the prescribed manner.

Extraction of precious metals out of e-waste material is an integral and a very important part of the entire e-waste recycling chain. There are only a few companies in the world such as Umicore at Belgium, Boliden at Sweden, Xstrata in Canada, DOWA in Japan, etc. which possess the necessary technical know-how to address this requirement of e-waste recyclers globally. These companies, which have been set up with huge amounts of investment, are pre-dominantly mining companies which also perform the add-on activity of precious metal extraction for e-waste recyclers. Given their overseas locations, e-waste material is usually accumulated domestically until the volumes justify the expense involved in transporting them to these factories for extraction of precious metals.

Innovation has been a characteristic which has always been strongly emphasised at Ecoreco. Ecoreco has developed a first-of-its-kind-in-India mobile shredding facility for safe & secure destruction of devices that contain information at the client premises itself.
