Waste management and disposalpersonal protective equipment (PPE)

back to work® is the service dedicated to the collection and recycling of workwear and footwear, gloves, face masks, and protective helmets.

At the end of their life cycle, PPE items — collected throughout Italy through our logistics network — are sent for recycling at the ESO RECYCLING plant in Tolentino, in the Marche region. Waste that would otherwise end up in landfills is given a new life as secondary raw material for the production of sports and play surfaces.

Who is back to work for?
It is aimed at industries, organizations, and companies that use personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent workplace injuries.

How does it work?
Together, we assess the available spaces within your company to optimize and simplify the separate collection of PPE waste.

The ESObox back to work containers are made of cardboard and available in various sizes depending on the type of waste:

• ESObox GLOVES for gloves and face masks

• ESObox SHOES for safety footwear

• ESObox APPAREL for work clothing

• ESObox HELMETS for protective helmets

For large companies, the Industry container is available — large, sturdy, and customizable according to the type of waste to be stored, featuring a specific interchangeable label.

From waste to resource. Together, we protect the environment and our future.

Through the back to work® project, ESO demonstrates its commitment to developing circular economy initiatives and promotes the importance of a “recycling cycle” culture. Choosing back to work® means relying on a qualified and competent partner, while making an eco-sustainable choice — living in harmony with the environment and knowing your waste is in good hands.
