The two companies will join forces to further expand Eltex Recycling position as a leading provider of waste management solutions in Romania, by delivering high quality, cost efficient and sustainable services to its clients.

ELTEX RECYCLING was set-up in 2012 as a local subsidiary of Eltex Kft, one of the most important industrial waste management company in Hungary founded over 31 years ago, owned and lead by Mr. Vass Zoltan and Mr. Vermes Peter.

The company offers integrated waste management services, such as  organizing the production flows for waste collection, taking over the waste collection process, ,  identifying recycling solutions to extract the maximum value from the generated waste.Its clients are large multinational companies from sectors such as: automotive, electronics or consumer goods. The company is run by Mr. Zoltan Bartha, CEO of the company since 2014.

GREEN GROUP is the leading recycling business in Europe, active in the recycling of all major waste streams including PET bottles, electric and electronic waste (WEEE), glass, lamps and batteries. The company is also the largest European producer of polyester synthetic fiber from 100% recycled PET flakes. The group expanded at the end of 2019 in Slovakia and Lithuania, where it operates two modern PET recycling facilities.

Commenting on the transaction:

“Aquisition of Eltex recycling is one more step taken by Green Group toward a circular economic model. We now start the cycle not from the waste but from a waste service given to industries. Now we will play “recycling as a service”, integrating industrial waste into new products. It is our way towards ‘zero waste” society” – said Mr. Constantin Damov, Chairman of Green Group.

“We are proud of the Éltex teams of Hungary and Romania to have built Eltex Recycling over the years into one of the most respected, expert waste management companies in the country, with special emphasis on the role of Mr. Zoltan Bartha and his management team.

We see in this transaction a great opportunity for Eltex Recycling as a part of the Green Group to radically increase its market share in the region and benefit from the synergies of their activities. To achieve this development Éltex Kft. will continue to provide all the support” – said Mr. Vass Zoltan, CEO of Eltex Kft.
