Environmental Services - Our Environmental Services businesses offer an array of services to customers. We safely collect, transport, treat, recycle when suitable and dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous waste through our network of over 100 waste disposal facilities including incinerators; landfills; treatment, storage and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, wastewater treatment facilities; and solvent recycling centers. Our emergency response services leverage specialized equipment, expertise and responsiveness to support our customers. Our teams are also equipped to address our customer requirements related to per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, offering a comprehensive range of services that include testing, water filtration, site remediation and disposal through our Total PFAS Solutions service offering. We leverage our assets to perform a wide range of industrial maintenance and specialty industrial services, both planned and unplanned. We collect containerized waste and provide parts washer and vacuum services to small quantity generators of hazardous waste. All of these services are designed to protect the environment and address environmental related challenges through the use of innovation and the latest technologies. We provide customers with sustainable solutions and include recycling options whenever possible.
Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions - Our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions, or SKSS, business offerings span the life-cycle of sustainable lubricant products. SKSS provides collections services for used oil, used oil filters and other automotive related fluids, allowing customers to manage these wastes in a responsible and compliant way while also converting these waste streams into high quality products for re-use. The used oil collected by our team serves as feedstock for our oil re-refineries. At these facilities, we manufacture base oil and vacuum gas oil, or VGO, and also formulate and package high quality lubricants which are returned to the marketplace to provide our customers with sustainable solutions to meet their oil and lubricant demands.
