Petroleum Waste Recycling
Our mechanical oil extraction process recovers petroleum-based materials from absorbents and debris, achieving 95% resource recovery rates. Extracted oils get repurposed for fuel blending while residual solids convert to energy at EPA-certified facilities. This closed-loop system reduces landfill use by 80% while maintaining full compliance with RCRA regulations.
Universal Waste Recycling
We handle batteries, lamps, and electronics through our EPA-verified recycling channels. Our patented mail-back system includes pre-paid containers and chain-of-custody tracking, with 100% documentation for compliance reporting. Processed materials receive certified destruction verification for data security compliance.
Environmental Compliance Consulting
Our consultants provide continuous compliance monitoring for air emissions, hazardous materials, and water discharge regulations. Services include SPCC plan development, Tier II reporting, and ISO 14001 implementation support with real-time regulatory change alerts and audit preparation.
