AURAEKO

What AURAEKO does

AURAEKO is a privately held Polish environmental compliance scheme operator (Organizacja Odzysku) that runs two S.A. entities serving manufacturers, importers, and sellers placing electrical and electronic equipment, packaging, batteries, tyres, oils, and greases on the Polish market. The first entity, AURAEKO Organizacja Odzysku Sprzętu Elektrycznego i Elektronicznego S.A. (founded 2006), manages statutory WEEE obligations on behalf of clients — collection, recovery, recycling, and reporting to the Marshal's Office — while the second, AURAEKO BATERPAK Organizacja Odzysku Opakowań S.A. (founded 2008), handles the equivalent obligations for packaging, batteries, accumulators, tyres, oils, greases, and lubricating preparations. AURAEKO also acts as an Authorised Representative for non-Polish (EU and non-EU) economic operators seeking Polish statutory representation for WEEE. Both entities share a Warsaw headquarters at Wincentego Rzymowskiego 31 and have held ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification since 2009, with AURAEKO OOSEE being the first WEEE compliance scheme in Poland to obtain this certification.

The company's core technology is a centralised, web-based reporting application (deklaracje.auraeko.pl) used by customers to declare quantities and weights of equipment, packaging, batteries, tyres, oils, and greases placed on the market. Services are delivered via a direct B2B sales motion supported by dedicated Customer Care Managers for each client, complemented by periodic regulatory training and an annual customer training conference. Supporting offerings include the Firma Przyjazna Naturze CSR programme (which grants customers an exclusive eco-logo), the AKADEMIA AURAEKO educational video series (nine videos for ages 10–15 on ecology, waste segregation, and electro-waste), and the nationwide Dobre Rady na Elektroodpady school competition (running for 17 editions) and kindergarten environmental campaigns. The brand portfolio includes the AURELKA eco-educator mascot character used across educational materials.

AURAEKO generates revenue through recurring service fees charged to clients for transferring and managing their statutory obligations — covering collection network organisation, achievement of legally binding collection/recovery rates, and regulatory reporting. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per client; no public pricing tiers exist. The company is 100% Polish-owned, with AURAEKO OOSEE shareholders including ECOL, KANLUX, POLSKI ZWIĄZEK PRZEMYSŁU OŚWIETLENIOWEGO, TREND DEVELOPMENT, WOJNAROWSCY, and Zext; Gabriela Leszczyńska serves as President of the Management Board for both entities. There is no disclosed private equity, venture, or parent-company ownership. AURAEKO reports more than 4,000 served customers and operates exclusively within Poland.

3.
