Business Highlights

Business Model & Strategy

Ecoreco''s integrated business model covers every stage of

the e-waste value chain-collection, secure data destruction,
refurbishment, material recovery, and remarketing. This
model unlocks multiple value streams from end-of-life
electronics and lithium-ion batteries.

Our state-of-the-art recycling facilities, certified by the

CPCB/MPCB and aligned with R2v3 international standards,
have an installed capacity of 31,200 MT per annum. This
positions Ecoreco to meet India''s rapidly increasing demand
for environmentally responsible recycling, while ensuring

compliance, transparency, and operational scalability.

Market & Industry Outlook

India''s e-waste generation is projected to grow at double¬
digit rates, fuelled by rapid digitalisation, shorter product
life cycles, and stricter enforcement of the E-Waste
Management Rules, 2022 and EPR Guidelines. On a global
scale, demand for critical and precious metals is intensifying
as industries seek secure, sustainable supply chains. Ecoreco''s
technology-driven, compliant, and scalable operations make
it a natural partner for governments, OEMs, and corporates
navigating this evolving landscape.

Mar 31, 2023

The Directors are pleased to present the Twenty Nine Annual Report along with the Audited Financial Statements of your Company for the Financial Year ended 31st March, 2023.

1. THE STATE OF THE COMPANY''S AFFAIRS

In the previous year 2022-23, the company achieved a growth of 17% in its operational revenue along with a massive increase of 278% in its Net Profit from Operational activity primarily because the company preferred high value containing E-waste at most negotiated rates, controlled logistics and operational expenses and focusing on Fee based Business from the local and global markets. We are confident that the global companies who prefers environment compliance while disposing their E-waste certainly looks at Ecoreco with confidence & trust to meet their standards and compliances. It may not be out of place to clarify that the operational profit from core activities (excluding income from treasury portfolio) has increased by 28%.

The Central Government framed the strictest E-waste Management Rules, 2022 which has come into force with effect from 01st April, 2023. The most important provision is that the Producers of Electrical & Electronic Equipment have to collect back as high as 70% of the equipment placed in the market in the previous years and get them recycled with the Registered Recycler. The number of items which were covered in the previous E-waste Management Rules

were just 21 which has now been increased to 106, more than 5-fold jump which signifies a massive growth in the E-waste Management Industry. In financial terms, the value of commodities recovered out of 4 million metric tonnes of e-waste will be of the magnitude of $5 Billion and 70% of the same is another humungous number of 3.5 billion USS equivalent to Rs. 30,000/- Crores per annum, having CAGR 25%.

It is pleasant to share that your company has set several mile stones in the past few years beginning with the introduction of e-waste industry in India in the organized manner, the frst facility approved by the Central Pollution Control Board to undertake e-waste recycling in India, the frst company approved by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, the frst and the only company innovated the concept of Recycling on Wheels, the frst company providing Information Destruction service at the door step of the corporate and so on & so forth.

The first few years were equally challenging since there was no organized recycling of such a hazardous waste in the country and therefore the entire waste was being collected by the so called Kabadies. Ecoreco is proud to share that with the implementation of scientifc process to deal with such a hazardous waste, we are now in a position to reclaim all the basic ingredients from the end of life electronic equipment in a safer and environment friendly manner and thereby saving depleting natural resources and redeploying in to the main stream of industries.

It may be very pleasant for you to read that Ecoreco has innovated in house technology for the recovery of precious metals like gold, silver, palladium etc. from the e-waste and now going for commercialization of the same.

It is a pleasure to share that w.e.f. 1st May 2012, new Rules will be applicable in the country and thereby it is mandatory for all the users to give their used electronic equipment to the registered recyclers only.
