ecoATM Recognized for Pioneering E-Waste Recycling

On October 10, 2025, ecoATM, a leader in electronics recycling, was awarded the prestigious Sustainability in the Food Industry Award by The Shelby Report. This recognition underscores ecoATM's vital role in innovating sustainable practices not just within the electronic industry, but across various sectors, including food retail and distribution.

ecoATM’s mission revolves around addressing the escalating challenge of electronic waste, also known as e-waste. Through strategically placed kiosks, ecoATM provides a seamless platform for consumers to exchange their old smartphones for cash. This simple yet effective process not only financially rewards individuals but also promotes responsible recycling, ensuring that devices are refurbished or disposed of safely.

Neil Fried, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at ecoATM, expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the company's commitment to environmental health. “We’re honored to receive this award as it reflects our dedication to reducing electronic waste. The materials found in personal electronics, such as lead and mercury, can have devastating effects on both health and the environment if not managed properly.”

With a milestone achievement of collecting over 50 million devices in 2024 alone, ecoATM has effectively diverted more than 25 million pounds of e-waste from landfills. This staggering statistic also highlights the prevention of hundreds of thousands of toxins from contaminating the earth and waterways.

ecoATM aims to simplify the recycling process and expand its reach to encourage more people to take part in e-waste recycling. Users can conveniently find ecoATM kiosks at local grocery stores or via the company’s website, further promoting accessible solutions for electronic disposal.

“Every device accepted is one step closer to a healthier planet,” Fried added. ecoATM is not just a company; it’s a movement towards a more sustainable future in technology and waste management.

In the grand scope of sustainability, ecoATM exemplifies how businesses can lead by example and engage consumers in a collective effort to tackle environmental issues. The recognition from The Shelby Report solidifies the importance of integrating sustainable practices into all facets of industry.
