TotalEnergies Marketing UK has launched a waste oil collection, packaged waste and recycling service for its UK customers, in partnership with Enva, the environmental services and resource recovery business.

The offering aims to provide TotalEnergies’ customers across all markets with access to a reliable, fully licensed waste-oil collection service, helping them reduce their carbon footprint through enhanced recycling.

Enva will also support TotalEnergies in delivering a fully circular product offering.

Collected waste oils will undergo quality control, be stored, and then be transported to the TotalEnergies Tecoil facility in Finland – acquired in 2024 – to produce high-performance, more environmentally friendly Re-Refined Base Oils (RRBOs).

These RRBOs are used to manufacture TotalEnergies’ innovative, low-carbon EV3R range of lubricants.

The circular lubricants range includes the EV3R range, with Quartz for passenger vehicles and Rubia for heavy-duty on-road vehicles.

TotalEnergies’ customers will benefit from Enva’s safe, sustainable and compliant waste management service.

Recycling used lubricants, garages contribute to creating high-performance, environmentally friendly RRBOs that go back into TotalEnergies’ EV3R range, including Quartz for passenger vehicles and Rubia for heavy-duty vehicles.
