The Mullingar-based business saves around 4,500 tons of carbon every year by turning solvents, aerosols and corrosive materials into other products in a sustainable way

Soltec is a hazardous waste business that turns waste into other products, including fuel and paint thinner, to reduce carbon output and improve sustainability.

“For any company that deals with solvents, aerosols or corrosive materials, we can collect the waste and bring it back to our facility in Mullingar. Once it gets there we can test it and decide what to do with it.” The younger Corcoran joined the company in 2011 after studying environmental science in DIT, what is now Technological University Dublin.

“You have to remember that the Environmental Protection Agency had only been formed in 1992. The general ideas around legislation of waste were quite primitive when my dad started,” Corcoran said.
