As Europe accelerates toward a circular economy, Indaver Solvents is providing a blueprint for how high-purity solvent recovery can meet both industrial performance and environmental goals. Leveraging decades of waste-treatment expertise, the company offers toll manufacturing and turnkey solutions to regenerate solvent streams into virgin-equivalent products. The result is a closed-loop system that enables chemical, pharma and advanced manufacturing industries to decarbonise without compromise.

Purity without compromise, backed by regulatory certainty

Operating state-of-the-art facilities in the UK and Belgium, Indaver Solvents delivers fully integrated capabilities—from collection and treatment to advanced distillation, fractionation and pervaporation. This end-to-end control guarantees chemical purity levels above 99%, meeting or exceeding the strictest pharmaceutical and microelectronics specifications. What sets Indaver apart is the seamless combination of technological excellence with compliance assurance. Regenerated solvents are backed by REACH registration, offering full traceability, legal certainty and safe reuse within the EU’s regulatory framework. Customers benefit from documentation aligned with ECHA guidelines and the peace of mind that comes from full compliance—making it possible to reduce virgin solvent use without regulatory risk. With digital real-time reporting, localised supply chains that reduce transport emissions, and a strong safety culture rooted in EU-wide permits and audits, Indaver’s model delivers both sustainability and operational resilience. This circular approach yields up to 80% lower carbon footprint versus virgin alternatives—an essential advantage as industry stakeholders push to align with Green Deal targets and ESG benchmarks.

Closing the loop across Europe’s Industry

One such circular success is already underway at Huddersfield, where a bespoke facility for Syngenta will regenerate up to 15,000 tonnes per annum via a fully closed-loop piping system. This model builds on previous R&D with VITO (flemish institute for technological research), where Indaver successfully removed trace metals from solvents like N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to meet high-end applications, including lithium battery manufacturing. The company is also investing in pressure-swing distillation to tackle azeotropic separation—making regeneration of complex solvent mixtures more energy- and cost-efficient. By offering both centralised and decentralised installations, Indaver brings flexibility to clients seeking either localised solvent management or broader cross-site integration.

As good as new, but greener: low-carbon, circular solutions for high-end fine chemicals

With all services in-house, no subcontracting, and scalable models ranging from pilot trials to long-term BOO (Build-Own-Operate) contracts, Indaver Solvents is proving that sustainability and high performance don’t have to be trade-offs. Its combination of chemical precision, environmental foresight and regulatory strength offers a complete solution for industrial solvent users looking to future-proof their operations. CIA members seeking practical pathways to circularity - without sacrificing quality or compliance - will find both in Indaver’s solvent regeneration portfolio.
