Solvent Recycling

Rubo offers a complete package for solvent waste treatment, including assessment, collection and final disposal. Solvents are hazardous waste, and if not treated correctly can lead to accidents and pollution. Our knowledgeable and friendly team will be here to take the hassle out of your waste management. We pride ourselves on our customer service, reliable waste collections, and environmentally friendly waste management.

Many 'single stream' organic solvents, such as vessel flushing/washings, are suitable to be recycled via distillation. This method can provide you with a laundered product for reuse in your system, reducing the cost of buying new products. We can also supply on-site distillation equipment to keep this process 'in-house' and ensure the recovered product meets your quality requirements. Non-recyclable solvents can be blended to produce an alternative to fossil fuels know as SLF and used in energy-intensive industries, for example, cement kilns.

Trust Rubo as your hazardous waste management partner. We are the ‘one-stop-shop’ for your waste disposal needs.
