A merger with industry-leading operators Chemtron, Vexor, and KilnDirect further expands CIRCON’s market reach, processing capabilities, and capacity to provide sustainable alternatives to waste management while creating value-generating waste-derived fuels.

CIRCON manages hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The results are clean water and newly-blended fuels that are ready to re-enter the industry’s life cycle-instead of the liquid landfill.

CIRCON captures a broad range of materials and prepares them for use in the creation of engineered and carbon offset fuels, generating renewable energy, creating powerful alternative fuels-and avoiding landfills.

CIRCON manages and removes challenging and even dangerous wastes from a variety of industrial sites. Valuable recovered materials are recycled for use in powerful fuel blends.
