Valuation
Financials (FY2025)
Investment Thesis
Evergreen RecycleKaro India Limited is an early-stage formal e-waste recycler positioned in one of India's most underpenetrated and regulatory-driven waste management segments. The long-term thesis is compelling — India's e-waste volumes are large and growing while formal processing capacity remains minimal. Near-term execution risk centres on regulatory enforcement quality and capital availability. The company has genuine growth potential but faces the classic challenge of scaling a formal business model against an entrenched, cost-competitive informal sector.
Pros
Cons
Business Segments
Consumer E-Waste Collection and Recycling
Doorstep and drop-off collection of e-waste from households and individuals; processing at authorised recycling facilities; consumer brand building through RecycleKaro platform
Corporate and Institutional E-Waste Management
Bulk e-waste pickup, asset disposal, and data destruction services for corporates, government bodies, and institutions; IT asset disposal (ITAD) with certified data wiping
EPR Compliance Services
Registered EPR partner for electronics producers and importers, enabling brands to meet their statutory e-waste collection and recycling targets under India's E-Waste Management Rules
Revenue Model
RecycleKaro earns revenue through e-waste processing fees charged to corporate and institutional clients for bulk collection and disposal, EPR compliance service fees from electronics producers seeking to meet their statutory recycling obligations, and material recovery revenue from selling recovered metals and recyclable plastics from processed e-waste. The consumer channel (doorstep pickup) primarily serves as a brand-building and lead-generation activity, with monetisation through material recovery value.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Evergreen RecycleKaro India
Evergreen RecycleKaro India Limited is a Navi Mumbai-based e-waste recycling company incorporated in 2010 (CIN: U93030MH2010PLC211127). The company operates in the rapidly growing e-waste management sector, collecting, processing, and responsibly recycling electronic waste from corporate, industrial, and consumer sources. E-waste recycling is a critical and growing industry in India — the country generates approximately 3.2 million tonnes of e-waste annually and is the third-largest e-waste generator in the world. The E-Waste (Management) Rules 2016 (and 2022 amendments) mandate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), creating a regulatory-driven demand for compliant e-waste recyclers like Evergreen RecycleKaro. The company has achieved impressive growth, with revenues of approximately Rs 221 crore in FY2025 at an estimated 75% CAGR — an exceptional growth trajectory driven by increasing corporate EPR compliance mandates and growing e-waste volumes from India's electronics consumption boom. Evergreen RecycleKaro's business model benefits from multiple revenue streams: collection fees from EPR certificate buyers, commodity revenue from recovered materials (gold, silver, copper, plastics from recycled electronics), and recycling service fees. The compliance-driven nature of the EPR market creates sticky, recurring demand. Shares are available through platforms like UnlistedZone for investors seeking exposure to India's booming e-waste and circular economy sector.
