- Name and role in the company
My name is Silvia Alba Lobo, and I am the Operations Manager at Ekologica Medioambiental.
- Brief description of the company and its activities
Ekologica Medioambiental is a company with more than 25 years of experience specializing in industrial waste management, particularly hazardous waste.
We develop comprehensive solutions covering collection, transportation, storage, and waste recovery, with a strong focus on traceability, regulatory compliance, and sustainability.
Today, we are particularly well positioned in the management of waste related to the automotive sector, such as lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, and safety systems like airbags. We work to transform these waste streams into valuable resources within a genuine circular economy model.
- Current challenges and needs
One of our main current challenges is responding to the exponential growth of lithium battery waste, which requires highly specialized management from both a technical and regulatory perspective.
To address this, we are working to move further up the value chain by incorporating battery sorting, pre-treatment, and dismantling processes. Our goal is to reduce dependence on third parties while adding greater value to the waste management process.
At the same time, we seek to optimize our operational capacity and adapt to an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and traceability.
- Motivation for joining the cluster and the type of synergies sought
Joining CREC reflects our desire to become part of a collaborative ecosystem alongside key players in the sector, where knowledge, experiences, and best practices can be shared.
We aim to create synergies with other companies and organizations to jointly address the challenges of the transition towards more sustainable waste management, stay up to date with market needs, and expand our professional network.
Thank you for being part of CREC!
