Mehraj Malik, a young aspiring 20 year old boy from Meerut dared to dream. He dared
to dream big, with nothing in his pocket and almost no support from the family he
moved to Bangalore in the late 80s. Brushing away many hardships and setbacks he
realized that scrap is something which he can trade in and eventually became a scrap
trader. During his time as a scrap trader, he understood the concepts of RECYCLING.
His passion towards recycling grew by the day and the little money it offered could
not really shake him up.
As a decade went by, he visualized great opportunity in recycling and repurposing
waste in the electronic waste segment. Those times computing revolution was yet to
come, and the e-waste market was miniscule compared to other scrap segments.
However, his visions and intuitions were strong and kept on building his skills and
business around e-waste. So convinced was he that inducted his both sons in his
journey in the years 2007 and 2013.
He and Sons then went on to expand Electronic Waste business to different levels and
cities in India. Within a decade, with growing e-waste and his sharp business
acumen, he expanded his business to every major city in India.
In his quest to explore the intrinsic working of the e waste industry, he realized
that the epicenter of the E Waste Recycling industry in the region of Seelampur,
Delhi and Muradabad, UP. He also witnessed how dangerously, unscientifically and
environmentally unfriendly ways were deployed to treat e-waste in this region. This
is when he planned and committed himself towards creating an environment friendly
scientific dismantling and recycling facility in his very own birth place, Meerut.
Thus, Ecofly was formed in 2020 - A flight of imagination, courage and determination,
with a commitment to doing thing right, environmentally.
