Circular Solutions
By focusing on resource recovery and waste minimization,
Valicor enables our partners to transform waste streams into valuable resources.
Due to the chemical composition, these wastes require intensive processing to prevent harm to aquatic life and ecosystems. Through our innovative processing methodology, we transform waste streams into end products that can be disposed of in various ways, including as a fuel source for waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities. We are continuously expanding our capabilities for process development, analysis, and design while supporting customers with complex waste streams.

Valicor’s Product Destruction and Soap Recycling program is one of the largest in the nation,
including reuse, recycling, and energy recovery elements.
Valicor also offers facility specific Zero-Waste-To-Landfill and Corporate Waste Reduction programs. By closing the loop on waste and water, we help our clients operate more sustainably. Rather than simply destroying or disposing of materials, Valicor can extract valuable products and packaging from off-spec products or surfactants to repurpose them. We collect and reclaim or recycle a diverse range of industrial oils to dramatically reduce the need to purchase virgin oil,
reduce overall costs, and prevent waste from damaging the environment.
