WE ARE THE ONES WHO CLOSE THE CIRCLE

THAT OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

With us waste becomes a valuable resource, an asset that can be recovered and brought back to life through sustainable waste recovery and recycling solutions.

At our Amato Cannara facility in Tolentino, Marche, we specialize in the recycling and recovery of sports waste, fashion waste, and PPE waste. Our circular economy approach ensures that every material is efficiently processed and reintroduced into the production cycle, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices.

Through our professional waste management services, we transform discarded materials into valuable resources, supporting businesses and communities in adopting greener, eco-friendly solutions.

We are a Benefit Corporation

We believe that, in addition to economic profit, there are other crucial factors that must be considered. Our approach focuses on social impact, environmental responsibility, and the creation of shared value that benefits both the company and the wider community. Over time, this strategy generates measurable positive effects on the territory, strengthens local economies, and contributes to a more sustainable and resilient planet.

Our vision is guided by principles that drive every decision and action:

Circular: we embrace the circular economy model, turning waste into valuable resources and ensuring that materials are recovered, recycled, and reintegrated into productive cycles.
Sustainable: we adopt sustainable business practices that minimize environmental impact, reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and support long-term planetary health.
Shared: we focus on creating shared value that benefits communities, employees, partners, and society as a whole, fostering collaboration and responsible business practices.

By combining economic performance with environmental responsibility and a strong social impact, we aim to lead the way in responsible business practices, making every action count toward a greener, more sustainable future for both people and the planet.

Our project dates back a long way

ESO RECYCLING has its roots in the entrepreneurial idea of Nicolas Meletiou, who, with his long experience in the industry, has always believed that waste could be turned into resources.

Even when there was no talk of a circular economy, Nicolas Meletiou dreamt and planned for the recycling and exploitation of office and sports waste.

The “recycling cycle” philosophy was a daily leitmotif. The driving force behind any initiative to give a second life to a piece of waste by diverting it from landfill.

In 2009, esosport® was launched, a project aimed at collecting and recycling used sports equipment throughout Italy, involving public administrations, companies and sporting goods shops and chains.
In 2018, back to work® was initiated by ESO Benefit Corporation to collect and recycle personal protective equipment used by companies.

WE CLOSE THE CIRCLE

That of the circular economy

Starting with the collection of used sports equipment through esosport® and the recovery of safety shoes with ESO’s Back to Work® program, we also specialize in the collection and recovery of textiles, gloves, masks, helmets, and goggles. Each material is carefully sorted, processed, and transformed into high-quality secondary raw materials, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.

Our processes are designed to maximize recycling efficiency and support the principles of the circular economy. By recovering and reusing PPE, sports equipment, and textiles, we significantly reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills while contributing to sustainable production cycles and environmental protection.

At ESO, we don’t just collect waste — we recover, recycle, and process materials into valuable resources that can be reintroduced into manufacturing, creating new opportunities for businesses, communities, and the planet. Our goal is to transform discarded materials into a meaningful contribution to a greener, more sustainable future.
