SOLVENT RECOVERY AND RECYCLING
making waste work
One of Soltec’s key innovations is the repurposing of solvents. Soltec can recover used and hazardous solvent material, often in form of residual waste from the paint, manufacturing and medical industries.
threefold benefit for the environment
Through a process of repurposing and recovery, Soltec creates products and services that have a threefold benefit for the environment:
- Our Liquid Recovered Fuel product replaces the use of fossil fuels
- Our solvent recovery process creates products and chemicals for reuse in the economy
- Our commitment to recovery has the benefit of reducing the carbon footprint
Reusable solvents
Over 90% of the waste solvents that we accept annually are distilled into reusable products. Soltec is the only company in Ireland that can carry out this process.
Soltec can recover used and hazardous solvent material, often in form of residual waste from a wide range of industries, including the pharmaceuticals, chemical sector, printing and automotive, manufacturing. We recover this waste through a distillation and filtration process. This essentially purifies the solvent so it can be repurposed, or even returned to the client and used again.
We sell a wide range of products to our clients including paint thinners, panel wipes, and degreasing solvents.

We also provide a national, UK, and European supply service of all types of solvent in a variety of pack sizes (2.5, 5, 20, 205, and 1000 liter IBC) through to full bulk. The solvents we sell include acetone; isopropyl alcohol (IPA); xylene; and methanol. For more information on our solvents click here
Fuel blending
Safe, secure, sustainable
At Soltec we apply an additional recovery process on waste material that would often be categorized as unrecoverable. This process involves a process of blending and homogenizing residual solvent to create a new product – Liquid Recovered Fuel. This product provides our customers in the cement industry with an affordable, sustainable, and viable alternative to the use of fossil fuels, such as coal.
This involves the blending and homogenizing of hazardous and chemical waste to create new fuel products. Our innovative recovery techniques ensure that this material is not simply disposed of, but is recycled.
