SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RE-REFINING

Oil Recoveries is committed to sustainability. In six months we have re-refined used lubricant that is the equivalent carbon absorption capacity of a 3,700-acre forest or the annual carbon footprint of 3,885 individuals in the UK.

Even substances that cannot be refined are re-used. For instance, leftover lubricant can be used to power the oil re-refining process itself. In addition to reducing its reliance on traditional energy sources, Oil Recoveries contribute to a more sustainable future by using unusable lubricants as a source of energy.
