In December 2003 the USEPA enacted significantly more stringent regulations for waste water discharged by Centralized Waste Water Treatment Facilities (CWTs). CWTs serve the manufacturing industry by providing wastewater clean up that would be prohibitively expensive for companies to execute themselves. General Oil Company supports new regulations that will lead to more sustainable business practices and a cleaner environment. We are responding to these challenges with our Clean Water Initiative.

New Treatment Technologies
The new regulations require CWTs to upgrade their water treatment process and monitor the discharge with more frequent laboratory testing. Following considerable research, General Oil has developed a waste water treatment technology that maximizes contaminant removal. Furthermore, our in-house laboratory company, Waste Compliance Services, enables more efficient monitoring of wastewater and faster turn-around times.

Our Commitment Reduces Customer Liability
Our experienced personnel have a long history of responding to challenges in our industry and meeting environmental regulatory requirements. In October of 2000, General Oil Company became the first oil recycling company in Michigan to gain ISO-14001 Certification. We bring this same dedication to our Clean Water Initiative.

For over 40 years, General Oil Company has produced high quality products made from recycled oil while providing savings to our customers and promoting a sustainable environment. We give our customers peace of mind by meeting the highest environmental standards and, as a result, reduce their liability. We appreciate the confidence our customer’s have shown us in the past, and can assure you that we will continue to earn it in the future.
