Approval for recycling companies

Are you a recovery or recycling company? Get approved

Thanks to the approval, we verify that the companies to which we award the recovered materials, whose sale is managed by us, meet certain technical, environmental and administrative criteria, which we consider to be essential.

In addition, the approval process ensures the companies interested in receiving the materials offers all guarantees for their correct treatment.

The approval is a certification process, which is outsourced and audited under ISO 9001 and 14001 standards.

Currently, the certification service is provided by an independent consultancy. ECOEMBES will soon expand the number of independent consultancies - with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 - that can provide the recycler certification service for ECOEMBES through a public procurement process.
