Core offering

PURAGLOBE collects used oils and re-engineers them into advanced sustainable Group III/III+ base oils using its exclusively licensed Honeywell UOP HyLube™ and HyLubeSAT™ process technologies and proprietary HyRes™ technology. The company then sells these base oils (SUSTAINICS®) to lubricant manufacturers and OEMs, and blends finished motor oils and lubricants (SYNTAINICS®) — both for its own flagship brand and as custom blending services for B2B partners.

Product overview

PURAGLOBE offers a comprehensive circular economy platform for used oil recycling and re-engineering, consisting of four interconnected service pillars: Oil Collection Services (used oil collection), Refining Solutions (re-engineering via patented technologies), Sustainable Base Oils (SUSTAINICS® Group III/III+ products), and Lubricants & Blending Services (finished motor oils). The company holds exclusive worldwide licenses for Honeywell UOP HyLube™ and HyLubeSAT™ technologies, and operates proprietary HyRes™ technology. Products are sold under the SYNTAINICS® brand for motor oils (PCMOs, HighMileage, Motorcycle, ATV, ATF) and SUSTAINICS® for base oils. The CARE FOR CLIMATE® initiative promotes intrinsic decarbonization across the value chain, achieving up to 80% CO2 reduction compared to crude oil refining. Facilities are located in Elsteraue, Germany and Tampa, Florida, USA, with expansion planned for Singapore via an MoU with Aster Chemicals.

Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Aster Chemicals and EnergycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerAster Chemicals and Energy (a joint venture between Indonesia's Chandra Asri and Glencore) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with PURAGLOBE Germany to explore developing a Re-Refined Base Oil processing facility in Singapore. This would be PURAGLOBE's first facility outside Germany and could establish Singapore as an Asian hub for sustainable lubricants. Joint feasibility studies will be conducted on technology integration, feedstock supply, and market economics. Studies may be hosted at Aster's Pulau Bukom complex purchased from Shell. Aster has set aside US$2 billion for investments in Singapore.

Direct peers

• Safety-Kleen: North America's largest collector and re-refiner of used oil, producing Group II base oils and finished lubricants. Directly comparable to PURAGLOBE as a used-oil-to-base-oil circular economy operator, focused on industrial and automotive lubricant end-markets.
• Heritage-Crystal Clean: US-based used oil collection and re-refining business producing base oils and润滑油 products. Operates the Heritage-Crystal Clean re-refining facility in Indianapolis, making it a direct comparable in the US RRBO market.
• Avista Oil: European re-refiner of used oils into base oils, headquartered in Germany. Direct competitor in the European re-refining market where PURAGLOBE's primary refining assets operate, with overlapping product portfolio and customer base.
• Vertex Energy: US-based specialty petroleum products and re-refining company operating used oil re-refining into Group II base oils. Direct comparable operating in the same US used-oil collection and base oil production value chain as PURAGLOBE.

Emerging players

• Neste: Finnish producer of renewable fuels and sustainable base oils from biomass feedstock. Comparable in the sustainable base oils category and adjacent to PURAGLOBE's mission of decarbonizing lubricant inputs, though Neste's feedstock is biomass rather than used oil.

Broad incumbents

• TotalEnergies: Integrated global oil major with significant lubricants and base oils business, including re-refining initiatives. Comparable as a producer of base oils and finished lubricants at massive scale, though as part of a far broader portfolio.
• Shell: Global oil major and major producer of Group III base oils and finished lubricants under the Shell Rimula/Pennzoil brands. Comparable as a base oil and lubricants incumbent; Shell's Pulau Bukom site in Singapore is also referenced in PURAGLOBE's Singapore exploration discussions.
• ExxonMobil: Integrated oil major and one of the world's largest producers of Group III base oils via its Mobil™ lubricants franchise. Comparable as a dominant base oil and lubricants supplier; competes broadly with PURAGLOBE in finished lubricant markets rather than re-refining capability.
• Eni: Integrated oil major with Eni Rewind, a dedicated used oil collection and re-refining business in Italy and Europe. Closest major-incumbent analogue to PURAGLOBE's integrated circular-economy re-refining model.
• Repsol: Spanish integrated oil major with re-refining operations producing base oils from used lubricants. Comparable as a European integrated oil company participating in the used-oil-to-base-oil circular economy, though re-refining is one segment within a broader energy portfolio.
