Exploring new horizons and creating innovative solutions has always been Itelyum’s mission—an organization rooted in the know-how and visionary mindset of its founders. Founded in 1963, during the heart of Italy’s economic boom, Viscolube of Pieve Fissiraga introduced a groundbreaking process for regenerating used mineral oils, laying the foundation for what is today known as Itelyum. The merger of Viscolube with Bitolea, active in the purification of chemical waste and based in Landriano, established a uniquely Italian approach to sustainability, strongly guided by circular economy principles.

Today, through our commitment and continuous innovation, we transform end-of-life materials into regenerated products, helping reduce consumption and CO₂ emissions. We were pioneers of the circular economy long before the term became common. With over 60 years of experience, Itelyum has become a leader in recycling and recovery, boasting revenues exceeding €600 million, 50 companies, more than 1,600 employees, and over 45,000 clients in more than 60 countries.

Our story is that of a true Italian game-changer. We specialize in recovering value from complex industrial waste, leveraging top-tier chemical expertise. We offer a “one-stop-shop” approach, supporting businesses in meeting increasingly stringent waste management regulations and positioning ourselves as a trusted partner for companies committed to the ecological transition.

We honor our past but look firmly to the future: at Itelyum, we pursue new challenges with the promise of continually improving sustainability performance across diverse production value chains.

Join us on this journey toward a fairer, more responsible future.
