DESCRIPTION
Eco Recycling Ltd (Ecoreco) is India’s first and leading professional E-waste Management Company that has set industry benchmarks time and again with its innovative & environment friendly disposal practices.
India generates more than 3 million MT of e-waste annually and has the potential to reach 20 million MT by 2020. We at Ecoreco really understand our growing responsibilities with the growing volumes. We are committed to providing dynamic modules to handle the increasing volume of urban mines of natural resources out of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
REVERSE LOGISTICS
At Ecoreco, we have our own fleet of trucks and containers as well as tie-ups with number of leading logistics companies to support our initiative of returning back the basic commodities to the respective industries without further withdrawal from mines. This robust network of reverse logistics will certainly promote the formal recycling of e-waste. We hope that the above mechanism will certainly prevent informal and unscientific disposal and its subsequent hazards to human health and the environment.
LAMP RECYCLING
Light is life; lamps facilitate. But discarded or fused lamps containing mercury, phosphorous, and other hazardous elements when goes into water bodies, dries the source over a period of time.
Ecoreco facilitates the disposal of fused lamps to protect the environment. Although, lamp recycling is not a regulated industry Ecoreco started this service way back in 2008 to encourage large consumers of lamps to go for recycling in an environment-friendly manner. Ecoreco started Lamp Recycling on Wheels facility in 2008 to provide on-site service of lamps recycling and also provides off-site lamps recycling service to environmentally conscious users of lamps.
