Since January 2024, we have been part of the PURAGLOBE Group, the leader in upcycling waste oil. With state-of-the-art oil refining technologies, they are contributing to a sustainable, circular economy. PURAGLOBE technologies help reduce CO2 emissions during the refining process by up to 80%.
Koeweit Oil Trade is an authorized collector of hazardous waste, specializing in waste streams from the automotive and industrial sectors. We are registered with the NIWO under VIHB number 523340, and have the appropriate approvals to collect:
We apply the terms and conditions as prepared by the Dutch Association of Processors of Chemical Waste (VVCA). Please note that a surcharge applies if the water percentage in the waste oil exceeds 5%.
We see waste materials not as waste, but as raw materials with value. Through responsible collection and innovative processing, we minimize the impact on the environment. Thus, together with our customers, we contribute to a circular economy and a cleaner future.
With us, it doesn't stop with collection. We ensure that your waste streams are processed into reusable raw materials. We upcycle waste oil into base oils and high-quality lubricants. For other waste streams, coolant, brake fluid, oil filters and oleaginous waste we ensure that these are recycled into new raw materials through a carefully controlled process. By managing and monitoring this process from start to finish, we remain responsible for sustainable and environmentally friendly processing, with quality and reliability at its core.
