September 2026 : In a major boost to global material recovery and e-waste management, U.S.-based ERI and India’s Eco Recycling Ltd. (Ecoreco) have announced a strategic partnership to form “ERI India”. The joint venture aims to bring world-class electronic waste recycling and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services to the rapidly growing Indian market.
The co-owned venture will merge ERI’s advanced circular tech - such as AI image recognition and robotic sorting - with Ecoreco’s local infrastructure and regional networks across India. Co-announced in Tokyo during the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) summit, the venture marks ERI’s first owned and ERI-branded footprint in India, with operations set to launch later in 2026.
Welcoming the venture, John Shegerian, ERI’s Chairman and CEO, stated: “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. 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.”
Echoing the enthusiasm, B.K. Soni, Chairman and Managing Director of Ecoreco, highlighted the national significance of the collaboration: “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. 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.”
