Enva drives forward with oil filter recycling plant

This investment is a natural progression for our business enabling us to realise the environmental and commercial benefits of the material we collect from garages and workshops across the UK.  In addition to removing our dependence on third party processors, the ability to recycle this material in-house has increased our capacity, enabling us to collect more waste filters and rags from our customers. We are also very pleased to lead the way in implementing best available technology, in partnership with PRM Waste Systems, ensuring we achieve maximum recovery rates and minimise the impact of the process on the environment.

Michael Sneath, Specialist Waste Director, Enva

We are delighted to have worked with Enva on this project, we had big ambitions to build a plant which maximised material recovery through use of the latest equipment and solutions. During the bespoke design and build process we overcame many complex design challenges, successfully innovating to achieve our end goal. One such challenge was the processing of different materials including oily rags and used filters. Our in-house design team came up with a system bypass feature which results in reduced wear for equipment while also saving a large amount of energy, therefore improving the overall efficiency of the plant. We are very proud of the system and look forward to continuing our working relationship with Enva.
