Absorbent Recycling LLC

Absorbent Recycling was founded February of 2002 in New Orleans LA. Our plant was relocated to Houston in 2005 after hurricane Katrina. We offer our services to large and small business from the Fortune 500 to the “Mom & Pop”.

Once our customers go through a qualification process, we help our customers eliminate waste streams, liability, and reduce cost associated with the disposal of used absorbents. We accomplish this by setting up a customized system that recycles used absorbents for re-use.

Recycling absorbents for re-use is the process of cleaning the absorbents and reusing them as absorbents, extracting the water or oil and reusing those as water and oil are meant to be used. This is a closed process with little to no waste created and no documentation or manifest required.

A good way to look at this is to think about a dish towel vs. a paper towel. Paper towels can be used and disposed of or recycled as starter fluid for a fire, while a dish towel is easily cleaned and reused as a dish towel over and over. Absorbent Recycling LLC takes it one step further and recycles the washing water and soap as well as the oil that the dish towel has cleaned up for re-use.
