A modern office space has also been developed.
The company also has factories in Buzau, since 2009, and in Câmpia Turzii since 2017, and now it is increasing its capacity by 40%. More precisely, with the start of the new processing lines, the total recycling capacity of GreenWEEE reaches 140,000 tons per year.
GreenWEEE can recycle 1 million refrigerators per year, achieving over 98% material recovery, later reintegrated into the economy as secondary raw materials.

"In a global context where more than 50 million tons of electronic waste are produced annually, it is obvious that we need a solution to address this complex problem. Our investment is not only a financial commitment but constitutes a fundamental element of GreenGroup's strategy to promote the circular economy at the European level. Considering the often dangerous nature of this waste, we have allocated significant resources both for the implementation of advanced technologies and for ensuring the traceability of the process and the recovery of materials, facilitating their reintroduction into the economic circuit", said Marius Costache, CEO of GreenWEEE.
