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
-
“As a result of a long search, we found partners such as Logistica Ambientale and ESO, who were already recycling running shoes, and we proposed that they do the same for safety shoes. It’s a team work and I am proud to know that, in our own small way, we have contributed to protecting the environment.”
Maxim Bulgac – Health & Safety Manager Amazon logistics centre in Vercelli
-
“In our Malpensa Hub, we have initiated a new upcycling project with ESO that will allow us to transform our old personal protective equipment into new materials and objects. Our accomplishments will be revealed in a few months!.”
-
“For us, this initiative represents a virtuous example of circular economy and sustainability, replicable at a large scale. Our philosophy is to recover materials and recycle them, since the environment is an asset that should be preserved, and waste can be turned into a resource, reducing environmental impacts as much as possible.”
Luca Morabito, Project Manager and Environment Manager at E-Distribuzione
-
“We must work hard to create true circularity in the cycling industry. With the Vittoria Re-Cycling programme, we are taking an important first step. We promise that many more will follow!”
Stijn Vriends, Vittoria Group President & CEO
