Complete list of services
Our main objective is to offer our more than 40,000 clients the services necessary
to minimise their waste. When it is impossible to prevent the generation of waste,
recycling and reusing are the key steps, according to the Environmental Protection
Agency. How to manage waste is what our clients, as the generators of such waste,
want to know and this is what we, as the service providers can address.
The main line of business, however, is oil
and gas recycling, generally known as “oil
recycling”. It is considered one of the most
competent companies in the oil industry,
with the largest transport fleet in the cou-
ntry, providing comprehensive industrial
waste management services.
Oil and gas recovery and recycling in the
United States began during the Second
World War when oil supplies were limited.
At that time, the focus was based strictly on
the requirements and little importance was
attached to the environment. Nowadays, oil
recycling plays an important role in redu-
cing carbon emissions in the United States
and the need for oil imports. The recycling
of used oil currently prevents more than 50
billion litres of oil per year from being mana-
ged in an inappropriate fashion, according
to the American Oil Institute.
Used oil has many practical uses. One of
the main ones is re-refining it for use as a lu-
bricant. Re-refined oil is of a quality as good
as that of virgin oil. Another application for
used oil is utilising it as fuel to obtain energy.
This is done by using large industrial boilers
to recycle used oil with minimal pollution.
FCC Environmental is aware of the impor-
tance of innovation and growth. The orga-
nization is currently engaged in securing
permits for the construction of an engine oil
re-refinery facility in Baltimore, (Maryland) in
order to enhance the company’s competiti-
ve edge. This project will enable FCC Envi-
ronmental to have the opportunity for incre-
asing the quality of recycled oil significantly
as well as profitability by creating a greater
quality end product.
The company expects to increase its mar-
ket share, thanks to this project, and to be
able to recycle used oil to obtain oil of the
same quality as new lubricant oil. FCC En-
vironmental is wagering on a brilliant and
prosperous future and intends to keep
growing in the U.S. market.
