Ekofabryka

What Ekofabryka does

Ekofabryka is a Polish e-commerce distributor of environmental and waste management products, operating from Poznań under the legal entity name Ekofabryka Maciej Szczepański as a sole proprietorship founded in 2017. The company sells third-party-manufactured waste containers, recycling/segregation stations, rainwater harvesting tanks, composters, street bins, and accessories under its own brand via its own storefront at ekofabryka.com.pl, with no third-party marketplace or physical retail presence. Products are sourced from manufacturers including Slovenian rotomoulder ROTO (SAMBA, RAIN CONICAL tanks), Polish manufacturer Prosperplast (MAZE line), and Bradas (garden fittings); the company does not run its own production.

The product portfolio spans both consumer and institutional buyers, supported by EU-standard certifications (EN 840 for mobile waste containers, ISO 9001:2015 and PZH hygienic certification for TUDEKS segregation stations, GDPR/RODO compliance, SSL). Customer segments are hybrid: individual consumers and homeowners buy via the e-commerce storefront with publicly listed prices and a 0% installment option (Santander e-raty, 5 months); municipalities and large enterprises are served through a dedicated B2B division with professional advisory and customized procurement. Customer logos include Auchan, McDonald's, PKO Bank Polski, Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa, Volkswagen, Unilever, STRABAG, PolRegio, and Caritas Polska.

Beyond distribution, Ekofabryka invests in eco-education through a content blog, the EKOMIASTO educational board game, WLEPA KIDZ children's segregation stickers, and a proprietary rainwater tank sizing calculator. The company operates plogging events since 2018 (claiming to have originated plogging in Poland) and is a member of the Koalicja 5 frakcji industry coalition. With only 5 employees and no external funding, it runs a lean operation relying on content marketing, organic SEO, paid social via Meta and Google, and TrustMate review infrastructure to acquire and convert customers across Poland.
