The two companies said the formal link up will see Slicker Recycling accepting and collecting “double” the amount of used oil from Safetykleen’s UK business.
Although the two businesses have been working closely together for almost 10 years, the official partnership aims to support the circular economy by seeing less waste oil being wasted or burnt.
Over the coming months Slicker Recycling is said to be increasing its operations and administration teams to help manage the extra demand.
‘Opportunity’
Mark Olpin, executive chairman of Slicker Recycling, said: “We are two of the largest and fastest growing environmental and sustainability specialists, so our partnership is great news for both businesses. Not only does it formalise how we work together, but it also gives the opportunity for more used oil to be collected, re-refined and put back into the economy in a sustainable way.”
Oliver Kunc, managing director UK and Ireland at Safetykleen, added: “Slicker Recycling have first-class credentials in the industry across the UK and Europe and will play a key role in collecting, receiving, and re-refining double the amount of used oil from our customers. That’s good news for not only the sector, but also the wider economy, as we are two specialist businesses who know and understand the impact we can have.”
Last year, Slicker Recycling acquired Oil Monster. That UK deal followed the 2021 purchase of US-based oil treatment company, Hydrodec.
The company is said to collect and re-refine over 75 million litres of used oil and commercial garage waste every year.
