Ekovir

What Ekovir does

Ekovir OÜ is an Estonian private limited waste management company headquartered in Jõhvi, Ida-Viru County, providing municipal waste collection, transportation, and related handling services across seven municipalities in Estonia (Alutaguse, Anija, Kohtla-Järve, Jõgeva, Narva, Narva-Jõesuu, and Sillamäe), with regional offices in Narva, Tallinn/Maardu, and Tartu. The company operates under long-term (typically 3–5 year) organized waste collection contracts awarded by local governments, supplemented by transactional Multilift roll-off container services (12, 20, and 30 m³) for construction and demolition debris, plus container rental and sales (80L–4500L). Service lines cover mixed household waste, biodegradable waste, paper and cardboard, mixed packaging, glass packaging, and bulky waste, with waste routed to the Uikala Prügila (Uikala) landfill for disposal.

The business is built on an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified integrated quality and environmental management system, with EMAS registration via the Uikala landfill partnership. Operations are labor- and fleet-intensive rather than technology-platform based: there is no disclosed software product, API, or AI component; the technology layer consists of certified processes, container assets, and the route/disposal logistics chain. Pricing is published by municipality and ranges from approximately €3.58 per 80L emptying to €49.21 per 1100L emptying for household waste, with Uikala landfill tipping fees of €137.96–€273.13/tonne; all published prices include 24% VAT.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales to municipal governments, with long-tenure contracts in defined service areas; household customers transact through municipal contracts supplemented by self-service online forms for contract creation, modification, and Multilift container requests. Effective 02.07.2026, OÜ EKOVIR (reg. 10548331) merged with ENEST Majandus OÜ (reg. 16604929), which became the legal successor under the EKOVIR name (new reg. code 16604929), absorbing all assets, contracts, and obligations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; ownership is private with no external investors referenced.
