Automotive
The automotive sector, including garages and body shops, generates significant quantities of diverse waste, much of which is classified as hazardous. From used engine oils and solvents to car batteries, these materials require specialised handling and strict adherence to regulations such as the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005, Hazardous Waste Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005, and The Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2011.
While automotive waste can be complex and challenging to manage, it contains valuable resources with high recovery potential. Enva helps garages, dealerships, and body shops transform these waste streams into valuable resources, supporting sustainability goals, reducing environmental impact, ensuring full compliance, and creating a more circular economy.
Our end-to-end waste management solutions focus on maximising resource recovery and ensuring rigorous compliance. We understand the unique challenges of automotive waste and provide tailored, reliable solutions to manage these diverse materials responsibly and efficiently.
We manufacture a range of recovered oil products which are derived from refining the waste oil that we collect. These include Processed Fuel Oil (PFO) and Recycled Fuel Oils as well as high quality used lubricating oil (ULO) for re-refining into base lubricants.
