What Ecoslops SA does
Ecoslops SA is a French-headquartered, Euronext Growth Paris-listed cleantech company (founded 2009) that operates proprietary micro-refining technology (P2R — Petroleum Residue Recycling) to convert hydrocarbon residues — primarily maritime slops and sludges from shipowners and ports, plus terrestrial used oils and industrial residues — into second-generation commercial products including diesel/gasoil, fuel oil, naphtha, and soft bitumen. The P2R process is described as a world-first technology achieving >98% regeneration efficiency, emitting approximately 3x less CO2 than conventional petroleum production (including extraction), and the resulting products are ISCC PLUS certified at the Sines site. The portfolio is built around two hardware platforms: P2R industrial units (≥30,000 tonnes/year capacity) and the containerized Scarabox (3,000–7,000 tonnes/year), the latter sold as a turnkey plug-and-play solution to regional partners (first deployment with Valtech Energy in Kribi, Cameroon).
The company monetizes through three principal streams: (i) refined products sales (revenue +25% in H1 2026, with a +35% gasoil/diesel price effect, though production volumes fell 14% due to maintenance); (ii) long-term, transaction-based port reception and collection services under MARPOL Annexes I and V, with 24/7 operations and up to 60,000 m³ storage at Sines; and (iii) hardware sales of Scarabox units to international partners. Customer segments are shipping companies (anchor: MSC since 2014), port terminals (anchor: Port of Sines under exclusive sub-concession to 2027), industrial O&G waste generators, and waste collectors. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by channel partners for Scarabox deployment.
Since the 2015 launch of the Sines unit (Portugal) and its IPO, Ecoslops added a second P2R unit at the La Mède Platform near Marseille under a 2016 TotalEnergies MoU (operational 2021), then divested that unit to TotalEnergies in 2024, consolidating around Sines as the flagship site while pivoting international growth to the Scarabox format. Revenue is in the low-double-digit millions (H1 2026: €7.3M, +21% YoY; FY2025: ~$12M) but the company remains EBITDA-negative (FY2025: -$0.4M) and net-loss-making (FY2025: -$2.4M), with net debt of €13.6M as of June 2026 — a profile consistent with an early-stage industrial roll-out rather than a scaled commercial operation.

Product overview
Ecoslops SA is a cleantech company offering hydrocarbon waste recycling solutions through two main technology platforms: P2R (Petroleum Residue Recycling) - an industrial-scale micro-refining process handling 30,000+ tonnes/year with >98% yield to produce diesel, fuel oil, naphtha, and soft bitumen; and Scarabox - a compact, containerized unit for 3,000-7,000 tonnes/year processing at smaller ports. The company operates the Sines facility in Portugal, provides hydrocarbon waste collection services compliant with MARPOL regulations, and offers integrated water treatment. In 2024, the La Mède facility (France) was sold to TotalEnergies.

Ecoslops SA competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Safety-Kleen (Clean Harbors): North America's largest re-refiner of used oil and provider of parts cleaning and environmental services, directly comparable as a used-oil/industrial-fluids recycling operator serving commercial and industrial customers.
- Heritage-Crystal Clean: US-based provider of used oil collection and re-refining, parts cleaning, and hazardous and non-hazardous waste services — a direct peer in used-oil re-refining into base oils and fuel products.
- Avista Oil: German specialty company that re-refines used motor oils into base oils and sells them into lubricants and fuel markets, closely matching Ecoslops's P2R process of converting hydrocarbon residues into commercial fuels and intermediates.
- Mohawk Oil: Canadian used-oil collection and re-refining operator producing recycled base oils and related fuel products; comparable to Ecoslops's used-oil-to-fuel recycling model.
Regional players
- Oliehandel Tolsma: Dutch collector and re-refiner of used oils and related hydrocarbon waste streams, focused on Northwestern Europe — closely analogous business activity though geographically distinct from Ecoslops's Iberian/West African footprint.
Broad incumbents
- Veolia: Global environmental services leader with hazardous waste management and oil recycling capabilities; a broad incumbent offering overlapping services at scale but without Ecoslops's specialization in maritime residues and micro-refining fuels.
- SUEZ (Suez Recycling and Recovery): International waste management and recycling group with hydrocarbon waste handling and recovery operations; a broader incumbent player operating in adjacent segments of Ecoslops's value chain.
- TotalEnergies: Integrated oil major that acquired Ecoslops Provence in 2024; operates large-scale refining and renewable fuels businesses that overlap with the downstream markets Ecoslops serves with recycled fuels.
- Repsol: Integrated energy and refining company with circular economy and low-carbon fuel initiatives; comparable to the downstream refining side of Ecoslops's value chain and a potential large-industry counterpart for P2R/Scarabox partnerships.
Emerging players
- Neste: Finnish producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from waste and residue streams; analogous in transforming hydrocarbon residues into premium low-carbon fuels, though at much greater scale and from biological feedstocks.
