1. EcoWaste
A stronger business through recycling

2. What is EcoWaste?
• EcoWaste provides sustainably harvested raw
materials such aluminium and copper that can
be used in the production of new products
• We use a workforce from the local community to
recycle discarded goods thereby not only helping
your business become more competitive, but in
the process decreasing the waste that destroys
precious land

3. Why should you care?
We are able to provide raw materials at a lower
cost while also positively impacting your brand
through positive marketing related to
sustainability, recycling and empowerment of the
local community

4. How does EcoWaste reduce my costs?
Recycled raw products are far cheaper than purchasing newly
harvested materials due to the lower intensity and wide availability
of such materials
Recycling aluminium saves
• 92 percent of the energy needed to
produce aluminium from bauxite ore.
• the amount of energy equivalent to energy
that is needed to power a television set for
3 hours
By using EcoWaste resources you don’t have
to pay the additional cost of production

5. Additional benefits EcoWaste provides
• EcoWaste strongly believes in the education and
empowerment of the local community
• EcoWaste’s customers will be highlighted as those
businesses on the forefront of maintaining our
ecosystem and helping communities grow
sustainability. We do this through
– For every ton of recycled material that you purchase from
EcoWaste, we will purchase a tree that will be planted by
volunteers. Each tree will have a small plaque (from recycled
cans) stating the sponsor of the tree. The trees will be
planted once a month in an event that will highlight all our
customers for their use of recycled waste.
– These monthly events will coincide with educational sessions
where we show people how recycling can improve their
standard of living and the living of those around them
