ERI and Ecoreco Announce Strategic Partnership to Launch "ERI India"

FRESNO, Calif. & MUMBAI, India, August 31, 2026--ERI, the U.S.'s leading material resource recovery, ITAD, mobility and data destruction/processing provider and largest recycler of electronics, has announced a strategic partnership with Eco Recycling Ltd. (Ecoreco), India's only publicly traded e-waste recycling and electronic waste management company, to further the circular economy in India.

ERI and Ecoreco will team up to bring state-of-the-art e-waste recycling and ITAD services to India at what will be known as "ERI India." The venture, co-owned by ERI and Ecoreco, will incorporate best practices from both organizations, including ERI's innovation-driven circular solutions for responsibly recycling electronics, and Ecoreco's local knowledge, infrastructure and regional networks in India and overseas.

"It's an honor to partner with my long-time friend and colleague B.K. Soni and his superb organization Ecoreco, for this first-of-its-kind venture in India," said John Shegerian, ERI's Chairman and CEO. "Ecoreco and ERI working together signals a uniquely powerful partnership that will bring best sustainability and circularity practices from the US and India together as one brand. Our work will be done in a radically transparent, end-to-end closed circular loop manner where materials will be kept out of landfills, responsibly recycled, and put back into the circular economy to produce new products in India, where there is a tremendous demand for such services. We are incredibly excited and honored to be entering into this strategic partnership with our long-time friends and now partners at Ecoreco."

"Eco Recycling India is proud to partner with ERI USA, to establish ERI India and bring world-class e-waste recycling, ITAD and resource recovery capabilities to the Indian market," said B.K. Soni, Chairman and Managing Director of Ecoreco. "By combining ERI's proven expertise, advanced technologies and global standards with Ecoreco's local knowledge, infrastructure and regional networks, ERI India will build a transparent, technology-driven and internationally compliant circular economy ecosystem in India. Together, we aim to transform end-of-life electronics into valuable resources, strengthen India's resource security and contribute to the nation's mission on critical minerals by recovering materials from the enormous secondary resources already present above the ground."

At a ceremony held as part of the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) International Business Summit event in Tokyo this past weekend, Shegerian and Soni delivered remarks, as did a number of additional guest speakers, including Dan McCandless, Counselor, U.S. Embassy Tokyo; Satoshi Yoshida, Director for International Resource Circulation, Japan Ministry of the Environment; R.
