Environment
The Group's business activities are based on the circular economy and environmentally friendly principles. Our mission is not only to reduce resource consumption and emissions, but also to implement energy-efficient solutions.

The services of Eco Baltia vide are focused on making a real contribution to the protection of nature and the efficient use of resources. In recent years, the fleet of Eco Baltia vide has been supplemented by vehicles that run on compressed natural gas, which reduces CO2 emissions. Funds have also been invested in a mobile vehicle to deliver a waste container washing service to the customer's address. This not only significantly reduces travel costs and environmental impact, but improves the convenience of our service as well. We have signed a memorandum to strengthen cooperation towards the development of hydrogen technology in Latvia, and are already carrying out research to use non-recyclable waste mass for gasification, which will eventually also produce hydrogen to power our own fleet. By engaging in and supporting projects to develop environmentally friendly technologies, Eco Baltia vide further reduces its ecological footprint.
We are proud to take a part in initiatives for textile collection and ensuring the infrastructure of textile containers, as well as the implementation of a nationwide waste sorting campaign over several years, which demonstrates Eco Baltia vide commitment to promoting a sustainable lifestyle and responsible resource management. Currently, there are more than 260 textile containers available throughout Latvia, while the electronic waste is collected from over 100 inhabited places across the entire territory of Latvia
We are actively involved in the implementation of climate programmes and in cooperation with the LIFE integrated project "Waste as Resources in Latvia – Promoting Regional Sustainability and Circulation through the Concept of Waste as a Resource" (LIFE Waste To Resources IP, LIFE20 IPE/LV/000014).
