Company history
01 / sustainability

Proud contributor to the circular economy

Since 1977, METECO has been at the forefront of recycling in Greece — providing integrated circular economy solutions to private and public organisations across the full spectrum of waste management. Our operations run across three vertically connected divisions: Metals Recycling, Recycling Technologies and Car Recycling.

Our Vision

To modernise the recycling industry in Greece and drive the sustainable growth of every organisation we work with.

Our Mission

To accelerate the transition to a zero-waste economy — where resources never leave the system, but continuously cycle back into productive use.

our values

What we stand for

Responsibility

We own our actions and their consequences to the law, to society, and to every partner we work with.

Reliability

Our word is our contract. We deliver what we commit to, without exception.

Leadership

We don't follow the market — we set the standard in every sector we operate in.

Respect

We treat every colleague, partner and community with the same seriousness we bring to our work.

Improvement

We question last year's methods. Growth is not optional — it is how we operate.

Integrity

We do the right thing. Not because it is easy, but because it is the only way we know how to work.
