How Rent-A-Drum Recycles Piping Protector Threads used in the Oil & Gas Industry

Pipe thread protectors are used in oil drilling to safeguard the threaded ends of pipes, tubing, and casing during storage, transportation and handling. These devices prevent damage to the threads from debris, impact, corrosion, and other environmental factors, ensuring the integrity of the connections and the overall reliability of the equipment.

However, once these protectors reach the end of their service life, they can contribute significantly to industrial waste if not properly recycled. This is where Rent-A-Drum steps in.

At Rent-A-Drum, we offer Namibia’s only specialized recycling service for pipe thread protectors, supporting oil and gas companies in meeting environmental compliance while promoting sustainable practices.

Our process begins with the collection of used protectors, which are then transported to our recycling facility. There, we separate the steel components from the HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), ensuring that each material is recycled through its appropriate stream. Upon completion, clients receive certified documentation confirming the responsible recycling of both the steel and plastic components.

 

Advantages of Recycling Protector Threads

Some of the benefits of recycling protector threads include reducing plastic waste, lowering carbon emissions, and encouraging circular economy practices in Namibia.

As an established leader in environmental management, Rent-A-Drum continues to pioneer new ways to support sustainability in the country’s industrial sectors.

We invite all Oil & Gas companies utilizing thread protectors to partner with us. Together, we can ensure responsible waste disposal, reduce environmental impact, and take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable Namibia.

It’s a small change that creates big impact.
