DESPRAY Environmental has led the way in making aerosol recycling safer, more efficient and fully sustainable over the past decade. Since its inception in 2015, DESPRAY has tackled the industry's biggest challenge, safety. Its developed and patented system with 29 safety features enables aerosol recycling on a global scale.

100% safe and 100% effective

With more than 27 years of expertise, co-founder and managing director Mike MacKay is a driving force in aerosol can recycling. Together with Eelco Osse, CEO of DESPRAY and Osse Equipment Manufacturing Group. DESPRAY has been successful. Growing exponentially. Its success is based on innovation, dedication, technical leadership and an unwavering commitment to making aerosol recycling 100% safe and 100% effective.

Defining sustainability targets

Mike MacKay: "Safety has been a barrier to true aerosol can recycling for too long. We wanted to change that, and we have. Over the past 10 years, DESPRAY has proven that full aerosol recycling is not only possible but profitable and scalable. AND essential for the environment. We don't just adhere to sustainability goals; we define them."

DESPRAY systems have since recycled more than half a billion aerosol cans, diverting millions of tonnes of hazardous waste from landfills. With a full range of scalable solutions, DESPRAY continues to provide waste management companies and environmental leaders with the most advanced aerosol recycling technology available. The compact DS500 Micro and the high-capacity DS5000F are industry-leading solutions.

Eelco Osse: "DESPRAY's technology did not just enter the market but redefined it. Our approach has set the global standard for aerosol recycling and we continue to lead the industry with innovations that others are only now beginning to understand. The next decade will prove that DESPRAY continues to lead the way."

Looking to the future, DESPRAY Environmental remains committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainability, safety and efficiency. With new projects on the horizon and growing global acceptance, the next decade promises even greater advances in aerosol recycling.
