The new offering provides TotalEnergies’ customers across all markets – including automotive and industrial – with access to a reliable, fully licensed waste-oil collection service, helping them reduce their carbon footprint through enhanced recycling.
A circular model for next-gen lubricants
Enva will also support TotalEnergies in delivering one of the lubricant industry’s first fully circular product offerings.
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.
Convenience and carbon reduction for customers
TotalEnergies’ customers will benefit from Enva’s safe, sustainable and compliant waste management service. Benefits include:
- Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: By recycling used lubricants, garages contribute to creating high-performance, environmentally friendly re-refined base oils (RRBOs) that go back into TotalEnergies’ advanced EV3R range, including Quartz for passenger vehicles and Rubia for heavy-duty vehicles.
- Compliance & Peace of Mind: Enva’s fully licensed service ensures your site remains compliant with Health, Safety, Security & Environmental (HSSE) standards.
- Cost-Effective & Convenient: Benefit from a single point of contact for all your waste management needs.
Karoly Repas, General Manager, at TotalEnergies Marketing UK, Lubricants Division said:
“Our exciting new partnership with Enva provides our UK customers with a convenient and cost-effective way to reduce their carbon footprint and meet compliance requirements. But this is more than a waste oil recycling service, it is also a major step forward in the creation and delivery of fully circular lubricants for our industry. With Enva’s logistical and waste management expertise, combined with our Tecoil re-refining facility and innovative EV3R range, TotalEnergies is revolutionising the lubricant lifecycle from refinery to the road and back again – cutting carbon while optimising performance.”
Michael Sneath, Managing Director of Lubricants & Batteries at Enva, adds, “The circular approach to lubricant recycling and manufacture by TotalEnergies is a unique approach and is a major step towards establishing a full circular economy for lubricants. We are excited to support TotalEnergies on its journey by supplying UK-collected waste oils, which ultimately find their way back into lubricant products used by vehicles on our roads.
At Enva, we provide nationwide oil collections and a single point of contact for convenient total waste management services. Our expertise spans everything from collections, recycling, interceptor maintenance, to industrial cleaning, enabling us to manage all aspects of hazardous waste safely and sustainably.”
