Itelyum was founded in 1963 and specialises in the recycling of complex liquid industrial waste, drawing on unique chemical processes. In most of its fields of activity, the company is both a technology and market leader—particularly in the regeneration of waste oil and solvents as well as in the management and recycling of industrial waste. As a full‑service provider of proven services and processes, Itelyum targets industrial companies that must comply with increasingly stringent waste regulations while achieving higher recycling rates.

Together with DBAG Itelyum has evolved in recent years from a local family‑owned business into a professionally managed, Europe‑wide leading provider offering a broad range of product lines for different types of industrial waste. The company demonstrates an outstanding environmental track record: its activities result in annual savings of approximately 500 kilotonnes of CO₂ emissions, 1,000 tonnes of exhaust emissions and 15 million cubic metres of water, while preventing land use equivalent to 400 hectares.
