WE LIVE SUSTAINABILITY
REFINING & PROCESSING OF WASTE OILS
Since 1951, AVISTA OIL has been transforming used oil into a valuable resource. From collection and re-refining to the production of high-quality base oils and lubricants, we manage the entire value chain from a single source. Our raw material is generated where lubricants are used, directly within the markets we serve.
Using our patented ESR technology, we produce high-quality base oils for modern lubricant formulations. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement. The environmental impacts of our products and processes are regularly evaluated through Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) in accordance with ISO 14067 and Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) in accordance with ISO 14040/44, helping us identify and realize further optimization potential.
Measurable Impact of Our Circular Business Model
Our circular economy model creates measurable value that is transparently quantified using scientifically recognised methodologies. The following key figures are based on Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) in accordance with ISO 14067 and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) in accordance with ISO 14040/44. The underlying studies, conducted by the ifeu Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg, benchmark our products against functionally equivalent virgin base oils within a modelled European reference system. Calculations are based on ifeu refinery models, the ecoinvent database, and peer-reviewed scientific literature. Through our AVIeCO₂ process, used oil is returned to the raw material cycle, where it can continue to be used as a valuable resource. With our waste oil management services, base oils, and lubricants, you can reduce CO₂e emissions while keeping costs under control.
PIONEERS OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Innovation since 1951
As early as 1951, AVISTA OIL began viewing used oil as a valuable raw material at its Dollbergen site. Driven by the ambition to create an alternative to the combustion of used oils, the company developed a value creation model based on collection, re-refining, and reuse, a model that continues to shape our business today. Seventy-five years of experience form the foundation of everything we do. Today, we are one of Europe's leading companies in circular value creation within the used oil sector and a pioneer of the circular economy.
