What Vertmonde does
Vertmonde is an Ecuadorian e-waste recycling company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Quito, operating the country's only R2v3-certified e-waste recycling facility. The company runs a four-step technical process — reception with traceability documentation, physical destruction separating metals, plastics, and hazardous fractions, classification into recyclable raw materials, and final recycling or technical disposal — achieving at least 95% material recovery. Service offerings include secure collection and transport (INEN 2266 compliant), NIST 800-88 logical data erasure, documented asset destruction with photographic evidence, reverse logistics for manufacturers and importers, secure hazardous-waste storage, the Vertmonde BOX household collection program, community recycling campaigns, and the E-Circular PRE LOVED refurbished electronics resale program.
Vertmonde serves five primary customer segments: public and private enterprises requiring IT asset retirement and ESG-compliant disposal, electronics manufacturers and importers subject to Ecuador's REP (Responsabilidad Extendida del Productor) obligations, ITAD service providers needing certified processing partners, municipalities and public institutions managing chatarrización of public assets, and individual households. The company is a certified gestor in Ecuador's REP system via CEREP, a member of the PREVENT-Waste Alliance since August 2020, and became the first Ecuadorian member of TERRA's global certified electronics recycling network in March 2026, extending reach to 120+ certified locations across 10 countries.
Revenue is generated primarily through fee-based professional services quoted per engagement based on volume, equipment type, and service scope (collection, destruction, data erasure, recycling), with secondary hardware revenue from the PRE LOVED refurbished electronics program. The company holds ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001 certifications in addition to R2v3, and processed 948 tonnes of e-waste in 2024.
