Ecoreco Shifts Focus from E-Waste Recycling to High-Value Critical Mineral Recovery​

Eco Recycling Limited (Ecoreco) has shared a significant update on its strategic direction, positioning the company for the rise of Urban Mining and critical mineral recovery in India. The company noted that its long-term vision is evolving from being an e-waste recycling entity into a comprehensive circular resource recovery platform.

During the first quarter of Fiscal Year 27 (Q1 FY27), Ecoreco recorded consolidated financial performance, demonstrating consistent focus on profitability and value creation.

The key financial figures for Q1 FY27 are detailed below:


Ecoreco continues to strengthen its capabilities across the circular resource recovery value chain, operating with a focus on disciplined capital allocation.

Evolution Towards Resource Recovery​

The company has progressively expanded its capabilities far beyond conventional recycling. Ecoreco’s operations now encompass e-waste recycling, lithium-ion battery recycling, IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), reverse logistics, secure data destruction, and the recovery of valuable materials. This represents an evolution from standard recycling towards higher-value resource recovery and Urban Mining.

Capitalizing on India's Mineral Opportunity​

India’s focus on critical minerals presents a significant strategic opportunity for the domestic recycling industry. The Government of India, through the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM), has designated recycling and resource recovery as an essential component of securing India’s mineral supply chain.

To bolster this sector, the government introduced an Incentive Scheme for Promotion of Critical Mineral Recycling. This scheme provides support for expansion and modernization across the industry, covering secondary resources such as e-waste, spent lithium-ion batteries, and other eligible scrap, with a designated incentive amount of 1,500 crore.

Ecoreco views this policy direction as a structural opportunity for companies that possess established recycling infrastructure, feedstock access, and technology capabilities.

Ecoreco's Strategic Response​

Against the backdrop of these market developments, Ecoreco is strategically evaluating opportunities to integrate critical mineral recovery into its existing circular resource platform. The company is exploring several advanced avenues across the value chain:

• Recovery of critical and strategic minerals from e-waste and spent lithium-ion batteries.
• Advanced material separation and concentration techniques.
• Technology partnerships focused on extraction, separation, and refining.
• Expansion and modernization of current recycling and recovery capabilities.
• Development of long-term feedstock arrangements and downstream offtake relationships with industrial consumers.

Ecoreco intends to pursue these high-value opportunities in a disciplined and capital-efficient manner, building towards its long-term vision as an integrated circular resource recovery enterprise. The company maintains that critical minerals contained in end-of-life materials represent a secondary domestic resource base that can significantly contribute to India's resource security through Urban Mining.
