Our
Story
Committed to Security. Driven by Sustainability.
Founded in 2010, Eco-Tech Waterloo has become a trusted provider of cost-effective and environmentally responsible e-waste recycling solutions across the Waterloo Region. From the outset, our mission has been clear: to deliver secure, sustainable, and forward-thinking services that protect both our clients’ data and the environment.
Shortly after our launch, we expanded our service offerings to reflect the growing needs of our community:
-
In 2011, we began accepting single-use batteries for recycling through the SO Program.
-
By 2013, we introduced Refurbished Technology sales and computer repair services, extending the life cycle of electronics and reducing landfill waste.
-
In 2015, we added lamp and fluorescent tube recycling under the TBTL landfill diversion program, further enhancing our environmental impact for residential and commercial customers.
In late 2019, we responded to increased demand for secure document disposal by launching our paper shredding services, complete with a continuously monitored security cage, industrial shredder, and vertical baler—all designed to ensure total document destruction and efficient recycling.
Our most significant technological investment came in the fall of 2024, with the installation of a state-of-the-art industrial shredder capable of destroying a wide range of materials including printed circuit boards, paper, metals, plastics, and wood. This advanced system meets the stringent security requirements of industries such as Fintech—which mandates shredding as the sole method of data destruction—and Manufacturing Firms looking to safeguard their intellectual property (IP).
Through every stage of our growth, Eco-Tech Waterloo has remained committed to two core principles: protecting data and preserving the Earth. Our evolution reflects a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and a steadfast commitment to innovation, security, and sustainability.
Recycling Solutions
Customized Waste Management with a Sustainable Vision
At Eco-Tech Waterloo, we partner closely with our clients to develop customized waste management solutions that address their specific environmental and operational needs. Whether managing electronics, lamps, or battery waste, every item received is audited, sorted, and responsibly transported to certified R2 Processors, ensuring safe and traceable recycling outcomes.
By tapping into a broad and vetted network of approved recyclers, Eco-Tech provides clients with sustainable alternatives to landfill disposal, supporting both environmental protection and compliance with best practices. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also aligns with our mission to promote a greener, more sustainable future.
We take a firm ethical stance against the export of e-waste to developing nations. Eco-Tech exclusively works with R2-certified partners, upholding the highest standards of responsibility, transparency, and environmental stewardship across our entire recycling chain.
Our integrated recycling programs help businesses meet their sustainability goals, comply with environmental regulations, and contribute meaningfully to the circular economy. By focusing on recovery and reuse rather than disposal, Eco-Tech helps reduce the waste stream while enabling the creation of new products and job opportunities within the recycling sector.
With a comprehensive and responsible approach, Eco-Tech Waterloo stands as a trusted leader in sustainable waste management—proving that smart recycling benefits not just the environment, but also the economy and the communities we serve.
