from waste to resource
Since 2009, the mission of ESO RECYCLING
ESO RECYCLING is committed to reintroducing into the market all those materials that would otherwise become waste, but can in fact have a second life in the form of new products. The goal of ESO RECYCLING is to minimize environmental impact and divert materials from landfill streams into a virtuous process that is:
Sustainable like no other
Social and collective
Products and services
THE FIRST in Europe
With the esosport® brand and the back to work® service of ESO Società Benefit, we were the first in Europe to handle the transformation of sports shoes, tennis and padel balls, bicycle tires and inner tubes, and PPE (personal protective equipment: workwear, gloves, protective helmets, safety shoes) into secondary raw material.

Sustainability and the reduction of non-renewable resource consumption are among the most urgent global issues. We are living in a historical period marked by a strong human footprint on the environment. The exploitation of natural resources increasingly affects the planet’s fragile balance. We must reverse this course.
The responsibility to act lies with everyone, from individuals to businesses. And we are here, ready to make our contribution!
CLIENTS
The Circular Economy is built together
-
“After a long search, we found partners such as Logistica Ambientale and ESO, who were already carrying out a recycling process for running shoes, and we proposed doing the same for safety shoes. It’s a team effort, and I am proud to know that, in our own small way, we have helped the environment.”
Maxim Bulgac – Health & Safety Manager, Amazon Logistics Center in Vercelli
-
“Within our Malpensa Hub, we have launched a new upcycling project with ESO that will allow us to transform our unused personal protective equipment into new materials and objects. In a few months, we will discover together what we have managed to create!”
-
“For us, this initiative is a virtuous example of sustainability and circular economy, replicable on a large scale: the recovery of materials and their recycling are part of our strong philosophy, because the environment is a treasure to be preserved and waste can be transformed from discard into resource, minimizing environmental impact.”
Luca Morabito, Project Manager and Head of Environment at E-Distribuzione
-
“We must work hard to create true circularity in the cycling industry. With the Vittoria Re-Cycling program, we are taking an important first step. We promise that many more will follow!”
Stijn Vriends, Vittoria Group President & CEO
