ecoATM, the most convenient way to price, sell, and get unexpected value from your old devices, has been named a 2026 winner of the Sustainability in the Food Industry Award, presented by The Shelby-Griffin Report, for the second year in a row. ecoATM is one of 28 companies honored, alongside grocery and food industry leaders including Publix Super Markets, Wegmans Food Markets, Target and Ahold Delhaize USA.

ecoATM was founded to reduce the amount of electronic waste (e-waste) entering our landfills and extend the useful life of electronic devices. In 2026, ecoATM passed a major milestone of environmental impact: Over 57 million devices have been collected at our kiosks since our founding, equating to 28 million pounds of e-waste.

“Being recognized two years running tells us this work matters to our retail partners and the communities they serve,” said Carolyn Sarnoff, Chief Growth Officer at ecoATM. “Shoppers increasingly expect the stores they visit to share their values on sustainability. ecoATM makes that easy for retailers, turning a few square feet of floor space into measurable environmental impact, new revenue and more reason for customers to come through the door.”

For retail partners, ecoATM provides a turnkey, no-cost kiosk program that generates rental income and drives incremental store traffic while adding a visible, measurable sustainability program to the store. ecoATM operates under an environmental, health and safety management system (EHSMS) that conforms to the ISO 45001 and ISO 14001:2015 standards and manages used and end-of-life electronics, including the selection of downstream vendors, using a “reuse, recover, dispose” hierarchy.

The Shelby Report Sustainability Award recognizes retailers, suppliers and industry partners whose initiatives reduce environmental impact, support communities, and change how the food industry operates. ecoATM kiosks, located in grocery and retail stores nationwide, offer shoppers a fast, simple way to sell a device they no longer use and walk away with cash in minutes. Devices collected through ecoATM get a second life through reuse; those that can’t be reused are recycled responsibly according to industry standards.
