The company offers comprehensive solutions for hazardous and non-hazardous waste collection and management, thanks to its extensive experience in the respective field and its continuous investment in employee training and modern equipment.
The company’s main activity is collection, selection, primary processing, and transportation of secondary raw materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Since its establishment, Ekocentar 97 has been exporting most of the collected waste metals in cooperation with its longstanding German and Italian partners.
For more than 25 years, the company has been actively promoting individual and corporate social responsibility and sustainable environmental protection practices by expanding its services and cooperating with companies from a variety of industries.
In line with global trends and practices in waste management and the development of national legislation, in 2012, Ekocentar 97 established a sector for storing and processing electrical and electronic waste, waste batteries, and waste toners.
Over the years, the company has gained invaluable experience and expertise in treatment and recycling end-of-life vehicles, waste tires, and disposal of automotive batteries. Therefore, in 2015, an additional department was established to treat the hazardous waste substances from these waste types, and to store reusable parts properly.
The hazardous waste department, which includes a network of reliable hazardous waste management partners across Europe, was established in 2017. Today, Ekocentar 97 is the country’s leading hazardous waste management company with a comprehensive range of solutions for various types of hazardous waste, thanks to its collaboration with renowned hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Greece, and France.
In 2023, Ekocentar 97 established the sector for the collection and treatment of waste oils.
