About

EcoLube Recovery (ELR), is an environmental services company that recently formed in September of 2017 by purchasing the assets of American Petroleum Environmental Service (APES), Inc. Formed in 2001, APES Inc. was a locally owned environmental services company providing a wide range of automotive and industrial environmental services throughout Washington, Oregon, Southern Idaho, and the lower mainland of British Columbia. ELR is still locally owned and operated with multiple locations in the Pacific Northwest that include Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. ELR was created because we believed there was a better way to manage used oil and the by-products created in the process of re-refining used oil. Since 2016 ELR has dedicated significant capital and resources to improve the management of re-refining used oil. Today, ELR offers a full-service liquid/solid waste management system including on-site evaluation, collection, and recycling operations. ELR and its employees are proud to offer recycling alternatives to various industrial and transportation related companies in the Pacific Northwest through specifically designed oil collection and waste management services. Our success is dependent on anticipating customer needs and providing high quality and safe services to auto dealerships, oil change companies, transportation, and manufacturing companies throughout the Pacific Northwest. If you have used oil or other waste products that need to be disposed of, ELR has a green recyclable alternative.

ELR is dedicated to the collection of, and the sustainable reuse of spent engine oil and industrial lubrication fluids. Our proprietary process further treats re-refined used lubricating oils (MDO and VGO) that are produced at our Portland facility and turns them into recycled Group II base oil. The newly expanded state-of-the-art re-refining facility in Portland, Oregon separates the oil (VGO) from the water, flux and distillate through a vacuum distillation refining process. In a second phase of processing, we take the recovered oil, remove the remaining contaminants and oxidized hydrocarbons to improve the viscosity index, color and stability of the oil resulting in an end product of Group II base oil. ELR converts the VGO that has historically been burned as fuel into a reusable Group II base oil. This secondary process allows for the recapture of the lubricating properties in the oil and can clean and return used oil to its original molecular structure an infinite amount of times.
