ecopod was incorporated in August of 2005 in the state of California, USA.

Beyond the practical value of home recycling, part of the broad ecopod mission is to help create a clean environment and preserve our natural resources. By increasing beverage container recycling, the ecopod will raise the average consumer’s eco-consciousness resulting in increased diversion rates of all recyclable products.

Ultimately, both the private and public sector benefit when large quantities of recyclable materials are returned to the stream of commerce.  This influx of high-value commodities supports more jobs and economic activity (US Recycling Economic Information Study).  ecopod's unique go-to-market strategy, along with its “first position” in the market, will offer consumers, retailers, industry and government a triple win of social, environmental and economic gain.

The initial ecopod e1 deliveries are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2006.
