Sustainable refining

Another plus: The technology is far more efficient than other processes in the refining of used oils. As a result, a base oil is recovered that exceeds the base oil from crude oil refining in key performance indicators and protects the environment through sustainable recycling management.

THE History of AVISTA OIL

Innovation, courage, and the conviction that it's right

As early as 1951, the Dollbergen site began to think about the future in a sustainable way. A group of pioneers, courageous entrepreneurs, decided to innovatively solve society's problems. Raw materials were scarce, so new ways had to be found to meet the needs of the growing population. In the heart of the German oil region, work began in the early 1950s to give oil-containing waste a new life. First of all, used oils were collected regionally and treated in the refining plants in Dollbergen. The collection and production already  expanded in the 1960s. The used oil collection has been active throughout Germany since 1971 and the company has been the largest used oil collector in the country ever since. With organic growth in its own collection, but also strategic acquisitions, the growing demand for products from Dollbergen could be met. Today we are Europe's most important circular value creation company in the used oil sector and a pioneer in sustainable development.
