RO Ecologic

What RO Ecologic does

RO Ecologic Recycling S.R.L. is a Romanian-Swiss industrial waste management company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Vidrașau, Mureș County, Romania. The company is an integral subsidiary of the Swiss CHINOX AG group, operating alongside sister entities VIVANI SALUBRITATE, PRO AIR CLEAN, and RO ECOLOGIC COMBUSTIBIL ALTERNATIV. Its core business is end-to-end management of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste for Romanian enterprise customers, covering collection, ADR-certified road transport, pretreatment, treatment, and final disposal. The technical stack consists of physical infrastructure: specialized treatment installations for cathode ray tubes, WEEE and contaminated packaging, mobile units for liquid waste and wastewater, a leachate treatment installation, and an ADR-compliant vehicle fleet. Energy recovery is delivered through co-incineration of hazardous and non-hazardous sludges at the Heidelberg Cement facility in Chiscadaga.

Revenue is generated entirely on a service-based model, with industrial clients (manufacturing and process industries generating hazardous waste streams) contracted directly on a project/quote basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates under Environmental Authorization No. 1 (09.02.2018) and maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, which together form the regulatory and quality backbone of its service offering. Operations are concentrated in Mureș County with a planned expansion site in Sanpaul (storage and production halls C1-C6) approved by APM Mureș without a full EIA. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding history, no M&A activity, and a disclosed headcount of approximately 5 employees, making it a niche, asset-heavy operator within the broader CHINOX AG Romanian footprint.
