ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT – KEY SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS

Lubricant blending no longer needs to be energy-hungry or carbon-intensive. With Blendtek’s ultrasonic technology, manufacturers can achieve true carbon-neutral blending – not by offsets, but at the source.

Sustainability Is No Longer Optional

Governments, trade associations, accreditation bodies – and most importantly customers – continue to place high priority on sustainability. Today, purchasing decisions in both retail and commercial markets are increasingly driven by the environmental credentials of suppliers. With Blendtek, lubricant producers can demonstrate real, measurable reductions in energy use and carbon footprint – not through offsets, but at the source.

Energy Savings

  • Typically over 90% reduction in energy consumption.
  • Just 0.59 kWh per tonne produced, versus ~23.7 kWh with traditional methods.
  • Only 1.2 kWh required to operate a unit – can be powered by solar panels or even a domestic socket.
  • Compatible with renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

Sustainability Advantages

  • Prevents high-energy heating processes and related greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Thousands of tonnes of lubricants can be blended with just a plug and renewable power.
  • Reduces load on national grids and dependence on gas/diesel.
  • Equipment is recyclable and built for long-term use.

“With ultrasonic blending, thousands of tonnes can be produced with only a fraction of the energy, without fossil-fuel heating or cooling steps.”

Waste Reduction

  • No overheating = lower risk of product damage and waste.
  • No need for heavy insulated steel tanks – thinner steel or even plastic tanks are possible.
  • Low minimum blend volumes enable just-in-time production for niche or low-volume lines.
  • Minimal base oil required for flushing between batches = less waste oil produced.
  • Easily flushable for flexible scheduling.

Environmental & Carbon Footprint Benefits

  • Achieve carbon-neutral blending from the source – not via offsets.
  • Significant CO₂ reductions per tonne produced.
  • Helps lubricant blenders meet and exceed sustainability targets.
  • Improves supply chain environmental credentials.

The Bottom Line

With Blendtek, sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand.

  • Cut energy.
  • Reduce waste.
  • Lower CO₂.
  • Reach carbon neutrality.

CUSTOMER QUOTE

“To evaluate the savings to the environment, we have now saved over 26k tonnes of carbon emissions since using the process and heated the equivalent of over 144 homes in the UK for a year. Our gas consumption has been reduced by just over 93% and we continue to expand the use of the Blendtek technology within our business.

This exciting breakthrough is all about changing the environmental impact of lubricant manufacturing in the first place. So many environmental schemes and businesses look to offset their impact by using “carbon dumps or sinks”, and other environmental and climate protection projects. We have instead, found a way that prevents the creation of high energy use in the first place. We are immensely proud of this manufacturing innovation, and we believe we are the first lubricant manufacturing company in the world to blend in a carbon neutral process.”
