PEDMEDE ECO is an officially authorized Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) System for the management of Excavation, Construction & Demolition Waste (ECDW) across Greece.
About Us
Driving Sustainable Construction in Greece
PEDMEDE ECO is joint venture of:
- HERACLES Group (a member of Holcim), one of the largest industrial groups in building materials
