Our Story

A better way forward.

With over 40 years’ industry experience, we saw first-hand how waste oil in New Zealand was traditionally handled: it was burnt. That reality sparked a simple but powerful question — is there a better way?

After years of research into global technologies, we found one: a re-refining process that could give contaminated oil a second life.

We invested heavily, secured long-term consents, and built a world-class facility in Auckland — capable of turning contaminated waste oil back into clean oil that can be reused again and again.

Today, Glide operates New Zealand’s first and only waste oil re-refinery.
