Mr. B. K. Soni is recognized pioneer in the circular economy and sustainable resource management, and the Chairman & Managing Director of Eco Recycling Limited (Ecoreco)—India’s leading and most trusted e-waste management company. A qualified Cost & Management Accountant and a first-generation entrepreneur, Mr. Soni is widely credited with institutionalizing the organized e-waste recycling ecosystem in India. 

In 2005—well before regulatory frameworks were established—Mr. Soni founded India’s first authorized and registered e-waste recycling facility near Mumbai, setting the foundation for a compliant, technology-driven, and environmentally responsible recycling industry. His visionary leadership has consistently bridged policy, innovation, and scalable execution, positioning India as a key player in the global recycling value chain. 

Mr. Soni serves on the Board of the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI), the country’s premier industry body, and is a Member of the Technical Advisory Committee of SERI (USA)—the global authority behind the R2 Responsible Recycling standard. Through these roles, he actively contributes to shaping international standards, regulatory frameworks, and best practices in sustainable electronics lifecycle management. 

Under his leadership, Ecoreco has evolved into an integrated circular economy enterprise offering end-to-end solutions across the entire e-waste value chain—including reverse logistics, asset recovery, refurbishment & remarketing, secure data destruction, dismantling, advanced recycling, and extraction of critical materials. The company operates a nationwide infrastructure and has developed scalable, compliant systems aligned with global ESG and EPR requirements. 

Ecoreco is also at the forefront of digital and decentralized innovation in waste management. It launched BookMyJunk, India’s first technology-enabled platform for responsible e-waste disposal—recognized by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in Mann Ki Baat (January 2023). The company further pioneered “Recycling on Wheels – SmartER”, a first-of-its-kind mobile recycling solution endorsed by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India and formally launched by Dr. Jitendra Singh, Hon’ble Minister of State, in October 2023. 

A strong advocate of inclusive growth, Mr. Soni has integrated large-scale skill development and formalization of informal waste workers into Ecoreco’s business model, in partnership with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), creating a replicable model for green job creation and social impact. 

Ecoreco’s excellence has been recognized by leading global and national institutions including the Department of Science & Technology (Government of India), Lockheed Martin, CII, FICCI, Frost & Sullivan, Hurun India, Sankalp, and the Good Governance Foundation, among others—for innovation, sustainability leadership, and operational excellence. 

With over two decades of experience, Mr. Soni continues to drive Ecoreco’s vision of transforming waste into wealth, while building resilient, technology-led circular economy ecosystems that align with global climate goals and sustainable development priorities.
