Sustainability or performance? Now you can have both.

Are your customers searching for a process oil that:

• Contains recycled material?

• Has a lower carbon footprint?

• Does not compromise on quality and performance?

Shell Risella C paves the way for a new generation of circular process oils that can help you and your customers adapt and contribute to the circular economy, reduce embodied carbon emissions and meet the growing demand for more recycled molecules in oil-based products.

As our newest Group II+/III process oil, Shell Risella C has been specifically designed to guarantee circularity, performance and consistency.

Key Benefits

Supports a circular economy

Recycling waste oil reduces the amount sent to landfill, helping businesses to achieve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals by reducing water and soil pollution.​

Reduced carbon footprint

Production of REPO requires less energy than process oils manufactured from crude oil, helping to reduce the carbon intensity of formulations.​

Lower resource demand

The use of recycled waste oil helps to reduce the demand for virgin crude oil and the emissions associated with mineral extraction.​

Enhanced Performance

Advanced physical properties, including thermal and UV stability, provide exceptional consistency and performance across a wide range of applications.

Duration: {0:30} minutes

Description:
{Shell Risella C is a re-engineered process oil designed to support a circular economy, reduce carbon footprint and lower resource demand.}

{Shell Risella C process oil supports a circular economy because it is generated from recycled waste oil instead of using newly produced crude oil. It is formulated with a high-quality recycled base oil that has up to 35% lower carbon intensity.}

{Powering Progress}

Reformulate with Shell Risella C re-engineered process oils

The re-refining technology of waste oil can produce up to 88% usable materials, including high-quality base oils. ± Shell Risella C is our newest process oil specifically designed to support circularity and performance with the same exceptional quality every time.

Less emissions than the raw material extraction

Production of REPO produces less emissions than the raw material extraction and manufacture of process oils from crude oil, and therefore emits as much as 35 % less carbon dioxide equivalent.*
