In 1997, Tim Wilkinson, founder of Clean Green, had a vision: to reprocess antifreeze and other automotive waste products into renewable resources. Having spent years in the automotive industry, Tim recognized a gap in the market for an eco-conscious waste recycling service—and Clean Green was born. Starting from a Durham, NC, warehouse, Tim developed a proprietary system to safely process and recycle used antifreeze, coolant, and more into clean, renewable products. Today, Clean Green supplies these high-quality products to commercial and industrial facilities throughout the Triangle and across North Carolina. Beyond North Carolina, Tim continues to innovate as a designer of recycling equipment for companies nationwide, holding several patent applications on his equipment designs.
