E-waste recycling

Product Destruction & Recycling

Echo provides innovative solutions for the management of electronics and value recovery from e-waste, in a manner that promotes the stewardship of the environment. Most businesses do not realise the impact that New Zealand's ever-growing e-waste scheme creates, yet it is simple for us to deal with this in an ethical way - by adopting a reuse, repurposing and recycling mindset.

Our Product Destruction & Recycling Services

Innovative Technology

We operate world-leading e-waste processing machinery, allowing us to sort electronics for recycling at previously unprecedented rates in New Zealand. The commoditised material is then exported under EPA permits to downstream suppliers for further processing.

Certified Business Data Destruction

We offer audited reporting for confidential data destruction, both in-house and on-site, for a wide range of electronic equipment. Unlike other data destruction companies, we serve to offer you complete transparency by documenting the entire process from start to finish.

Sustainability Through Collaboration

Collaboration with OEMS enables us to design recycling programs tailored to their and their customers’ specific needs, ensuring that end-of-life products are managed responsibly. For 3PLs and distribution companies, we offer seamless integration into your supply chain, providing a reliable outlet for the eco-friendly disposal of returned or obsolete products.

Ethical Downstream Solutions

We have partnerships with a range of domestic and international downstream partners, allowing us to ethically & appropriately distribute commoditised material for further processing. All material exported is done so under EPA permits, to audited & accredited facilities.

What is your approach to electronic recycling & re-use solutions?

At Echo we use a technical approach, first identifying as much equipment as possible for re-use. These items are data sanitised, tested and refurbished before being circulated back within the community. Equipment that cannot be reused is prepared, dismantled and processed for recycling using state-of-the-art technology at our sites in Wellington and Auckland.

How do you ensure data security during the recycling process?

Data security is our top priority. We follow strict data destruction protocols to erase all personal information from devices before they are refurbished or recycled. Our processes are compliant with the highest levels of international data erasure, ensuring your information is securely handled and completely destroyed. If the item you are dropping off contains a detachable memory card, USB stick etc, please remove this from your device and hand that to one of our team directly. This has its own method of disposal which will ensure your data, photos etc are safely destroyed.
