Did you know that proper recycling of lubricants plays a pivotal role in reducing environmental pollution and conserving resources? Recycling used lubricating oils (ULOs) prevents the release of harmful contaminants and allows the recovery of valuable base oils for reuse in industrial applications. Advanced recycling techniques, such as the all-component recycling process, effectively recover both distillate and residual base oils, significantly lowering the global warming potential and energy demands of lubricant production.
Life-cycle assessments reveal that methods like vacuum distillation and pyrolysis are far superior to traditional disposal, reducing emissions and the overall carbon footprint. Moreover, innovative approaches, such as repurposing waste lubricants in industrial products, underscore the commercial and environmental value of recycling.
At Valorem Chemicals, we support sustainable industrial practices by offering solutions that align with environmentally responsible lubricant management. By promoting proper recycling, we help our customers reduce their environmental impact while ensuring the efficient use of resources.
