ECOWES Strengthens Its Role as a Trusted Partner of Public Authorities in the Responsible Management of Confiscated Batteries

ECOWES, a regional leader in battery and hazardous waste recycling, continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for public institutions in the responsible management of batteries confiscated during control actions and anti-counterfeiting operations.

Over time, authorities such as the Romanian Customs Authority, the Environmental Protection Agency, ANAF – Confiscated Goods Recovery Department, the Police Inspectorate, and other competent institutions have chosen to collaborate with ECOWES for the safe and compliant recycling of seized batteries.

Today, ECOWES received a new batch of confiscated batteries at its facility in Jilava, for controlled recycling. The process was carried out using modern technological lines that allow the complete treatment and efficient, environmentally responsible separation of components. All operations were closely supervised by delegated public authorities and were conducted in full compliance with the applicable environmental protection and hazardous waste management legislation.

“Being repeatedly selected by state institutions to collaborate with ECOWES is clear proof of the seriousness and professionalism with which we conduct our activity. We do not simply recycle – we provide the guarantee of a complete, safe and traceable process, a firm commitment to the environment and to legal compliance,” said Horia Irimescu, CEO of ECOWES.

ECOWES continues to support public authorities in their efforts to remove non-compliant and dangerous products from the economic circuit, thereby contributing to the protection of the environment, consumers and the legal market in Romania.
