Waste oil collection and disposal services

We recognise the immense responsibility that comes with handling waste oil. Our dedicated waste oil collection and disposal services are expertly designed to ensure your business adheres to stringent regulations and helps to build a more sustainable future. Our commitment is to deliver a seamless solution that allows you to focus on your core operations whilst being secure in the knowledge that your waste oil is in capable hands.

Why proper disposal of waste oil is crucial

The improper handling and disposal of waste oil poses significant environmental risks, including soil contamination, water pollution, and harm to wildlife. Waste oil also contains hazardous substances that, if not appropriately treated, release toxic compounds into the environment, contributing to air pollution and exacerbating climate change.

Our approach to waste oil collection and disposal is rooted in a deep understanding of these environmental impacts and a commitment to mitigate them. By employing the latest technologies and adhering to the highest industry standards, we ensure that every litre of waste oil collected is processed with the utmost care, aiming for recovery and recycling wherever possible. This helps conserve valuable resources, aligning with sustainability principles and circular economy, building a future that’s a few shades greener through responsible business practice.

Our waste oil collection service

Our service addresses every aspect of waste oil storage, collection, and disposal. To accommodate your business’s specific needs, we supply containers for the safe storage of waste oil on your premises. The containers range from small drums to large tanks for facilities generating significant quantities of waste oil. Each container is crafted with safety and security in mind, featuring leak-proof designs and secure lids to prevent spills and environmental contamination.

Recognising that each business has different needs, our service offers flexible pick-up schedules that can be customised to align with your operations, whether for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly collections. This flexibility is part of our commitment to providing a seamless waste management service that supports your business’s environmental goals.

Waste oil recycling techniques

The waste oil recycling process begins with the testing of the collected oil to determine its chemical composition and suitability for various recycling paths. Through this analysis, we tailor our recycling strategies to ensure the maximum recovery of valuable resources.

Upon classification, the waste oil undergoes a series of sophisticated treatments, including sedimentation to remove solids, dewatering to extract water, and vacuum distillation to separate the oil into distinct grades. These processes uphold the highest environmental safety and efficiency standards, enhancing the oil’s purity for its next life cycle.

Using state-of-the-art re-refining techniques, we purify the distillate products, transforming waste oil into high-quality base oils that serve as a critical input for producing new lubricating oils. This transformation of used oil underscores our dedication to reducing our reliance on virgin resources, helping to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil production.

Through these advanced recycling techniques, we contribute to the conservation of natural resources and encourage the adoption of greener practices across industries, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Waste oil disposal for non-recyclable oil

Our waste oil disposal strategy emphasises environmentally responsible methods for oil that can’t be recycled due to contamination or composition, including converting waste oil into biofuel. We provide waste-to-energy processes, transforming waste oil into a valuable source of energy instead of sending it to landfills.

We employ advanced incinerators with emission control technologies for highly contaminated oils to minimise air pollution and ensure compliance with strict environmental regulations. Our innovative disposal methods reflect our dedication to responsible waste management and our goal to promote a cleaner, more sustainable future. Leveraging waste oil for biofuel production benefits both the environment and energy sectors.

Types of waste oil we manage

Our comprehensive waste oil management services accommodate a wide range of waste oil types. By handling various categories of waste oil, we ensure that businesses across multiple sectors can contribute to a more sustainable future by responsibly disposing of their waste oil. Below is a list of some of the types of waste oil our services cover:

1

Waste cooking oil:

Often generated by restaurants, catering companies, and food manufacturers, this type of waste oil is a significant contributor to our recycling program.
2

Waste engine oil:

Commonly produced by automotive service centres, garages, and transport companies, waste engine oil poses a considerable environmental risk if not properly managed.
3

Vegetable oil

Vegetable oil includes used and unused oils from various sources, requiring specialised handling to minimise environmental impact.
4

Lubricating oil

In industrial, mechanical, and manufacturing settings, waste lubricating oil can be recycled and re-refined, reducing the demand for virgin oil production.
