Petroleum / Solvents / Chemicals
- Manufacturing growth is driving recovery particularly in automotive, aerospace, and advanced materials manufacturing in SC. OEMs increasingly require diversion reporting, closed-loop material management, and waste minimization.
- For companies with solvents and other types of non-hazardous or hazardous materials, these types of used products can be reclaimed and returned back to industry specification or be burned as a fuel for energy recovery. Purchasing re-refined oil is good way to support buying recycled products.
- South Carolina is home to recyclers that provide used oil and oil filter recycling and transport as well as recovery of non-hazardous solvents, liquids and sludges. Non hazardous and hazardous waste recycling is not only good for the environment, but can benefit an organization’s bottom line. By recycling hazardous materials, a business may be able to eliminate the generation of hazardous waste and avoid RCRA regulatory requirements altogether.
Growing South Carolina's Petroleum, Solvent & Chemical Recycling from Launch to Legacy

1 gallon
of used motor oil, when recycled, provides the same 2.5 quarts of lubricating oil as 42 gallons of crude oil
Oil
never wears out -it just gets dirty- so recycling it saves energy and creates jobs
