ERI Expands Asia Footprint With a New India Venture: Opportunities and Risks

ERI’s 50-50 joint venture with Eco Recycling Limited will establish ERI India later in 2026, adding a third Asian market after Japan and Vietnam. The expansion confirms a repeatable international strategy, but its success will depend on governance, operating consistency and the ability to compete profitably in India’s fragmented e-waste market.

ERI is betting on Asia because the region combines fast-growing IT hardware volumes with a shortage of formal, enterprise-grade disposition infrastructure. After expanding its U.S. footprint, ERI’s next growth opportunity lies in markets such as Japan and Vietnam, where data-center buildout, electronics manufacturing and digitalization are increasing equipment retirements faster than secure, transparent ITAD capacity. By partnering with ITOCHU and VSD Holdings, ERI gains local market access while bringing its own data-security, traceability and closed-loop recycling model to markets still shaped in part by informal recycling.
