Who is Ecoelastika

Ecoelastika is a non-profit company, responsible for the management of end-of-life tires (ELTs).

It is the only approved ELT co, which:

  • Organizes the collection of waste tires from their withdrawal sites (e.g., tire stores, auto repair shops), where worn tires are replaced with new ones, across the country.
  • Takes care of their transportation and delivery to licensed recovery facilities, assuming full management responsibility (collection, transport, and utilization recovery of used tires).

In more detail:

  1. The waste tires are collected in the certified ecoelastikaspots (tire dealers, vehicle repair shops)
  2. Ecoelastika contracted transporters who operate throughout Greece collect and forward the tires to the appropriate industrial facilities, for recycling and utilisation.
  3. In the recovery units, the tires go through successive processing stages, to be used either for recycling or for energy recovery.

ELTs are waste having a negative value, which requires their organised management as, otherwise, they become a source of environmental pollution.

Ecoelastika is a non-profit company and as such does not market any product, nor has any financial benefit from its actions. On the contrary, it assumes entirely all tire management costs, making sure they are delivered as raw material to licenced facilities, for energy recovery or their processing to create new recycled products.

The only source of revenue of Ecoelastika are the environmental fees destined to cover the total management cost of ELTs as well as the actions to raise public awareness.
