America’s First Silicone Recycling Facility

– Parkersburg, West Virginia USA –

Silicone Material Collection & Recycling

We collect many types of scrap and waste material for silicone recycling from more than 30 countries worldwide! Regardless of where or how much silicone you have for recycling, contact us to discuss your silicone recycling needs!

Silicone Recycling of Silicone Fluids & Oils

We collect and recycle used, expired, and surplus silicone oil (PDMS). We are also looking for silicone related fluids such as silicone transformer oil, silicone emulsions, silicone heat transfer fluids, and more.

Silicone Recycling of Silicone Scrap

We recycle excess silicone rubber such as runners, cut-offs, and trimmings. We also collect reject silicone rubber products that are usually thrown away, left over liquid silicone rubber, and other silicone related materials.

Partnership with ECO USA

With one phone call to ECO USA, we made a significant dent in our budget, improved our bottom line and reduced our company’s carbon footprint. The silicone recycling program has been a win-win all around.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

The silicone scrap we collect is recycled and manufactured into high-quality, colorless and odorless polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone oil that is currently being used as raw materials in numerous products and industrial applications. ECO USA’s silicone oil is 76 – 78% lower in carbon footprint compared to virgin material.1

1 Figures based on “Comparative Carbon Footprint of Low Viscous Silicone Oil”, a life cycle analysis conducted by ECO USA in 2022.

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA): Comparative carbon footprint of low viscous silicone oil

“ECO USA commissioned Sphera to conduct a cradle-to-gate comparative product carbon footprint study of their recycled silicone oil according to ISO 14044 and 14067.

Based on this study, the cradle-to-gate total carbon footprint of ECO USA’s recycled silicone oil is 1401 kg CO2 eq. per metric ton (MT). Virgin silicone oil was found to have a cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of 6079 kg CO2 eq./MT.”

SOLUTIONS FOR

We work closely with manufacturers of baby bottles and pacifiers, automotive harnesses and gaskets, and medical parts and tubing to pickup their reject and excess silicone rubber materials. We also collect surplus or expired liquid silicone rubber compounds.

SOLUTIONS FOR

We love getting to know recyclers, traders, and chemical surplus companies even though we maybe in completely different markets. Whether you deal with plastic, paper, metal, glass, oil or chemicals, ECO USA believes in building a strong network of people in the recycling industry.

Our Silicone Recycling Process

Unlike plastic, paper, or glass recycling that is straight forward, recycling silicone rubber is relatively complicated. Our recycling plant chemically breaks down silicone rubber, a solid, and processes it into silicone oil, a liquid. Silicone oil (PDMS) is the building block for manufacturing a variety of silicone related products.
