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.

The External Impact of Valicor's Sustainability Efforts
Valicor’s Product Destruction and Soap Recycling program ranks among the largest in the nation, integrating reuse, recycling, and energy recovery to divert materials from landfills and reduce environmental impact.
In addition, we offer facility-specific Zero-Waste-To-Landfill and Corporate Waste Reduction Programs tailored to help clients meet their sustainability goals.
Valicor has the capacity to 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, which reduces overall costs and prevents waste from adding to the environment.
