Redemption Oilfield Services Launches First-of-Its-Kind Poly Pipe Shredding Facility in Midland

Midland, Texas — August 7, 2025 — Redemption Oilfield Services proudly unveiled its newest addition to the Permian Basin: a state-of-the-art poly pipe shredding system designed to tackle one of the oil and gas industry’s biggest environmental challenges — decommissioned HDPE pipe.

At an inauguration event held on August 7, Redemption hosted representatives from major oil and gas operators, local leaders, and members of the media. Guests were given an exclusive look at the HDPE Pipe Shredder System, the centerpiece of the company’s expanded recycling facility. The inauguration included a live demonstration, where the machine transformed bulky, used poly pipe into clean, shredded feedstock in minutes.

Tackling a Regional Challenge

For decades, retired poly pipe has posed a disposal problem for operators across West Texas. Much of it ended up buried, abandoned, or sent to landfills. Redemption’s new shredding system offers a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution, ensuring these materials can be processed locally rather than hauled long distances or wasted.

How the Technology Works

The Shredder system is engineered specifically for heavy-duty applications like oilfield poly pipe. The machine can handle thick-walled HDPE pipe with efficiency and consistency. Once shredded, the plastic is turned into a uniform feedstock that manufacturers can reuse to produce new industrial and commercial plastic products — giving oilfield waste a second life in the supply chain.

A Milestone for Sustainability

Since 2021, Redemption Oilfield Services has recycled over 21 million pounds of poly pipe, keeping massive volumes of industrial plastic out of landfills. With the new shredding system, that impact will grow significantly.

“This equipment marks a turning point for both Redemption and the operators we serve,” said Aldo Venegas, CEO and co-founder of Redemption Oilfield Services. “We’re giving producers a practical way to dispose of poly pipe responsibly, while creating new raw material streams for manufacturers. It’s about efficiency, economics, and sustainability all in one.”

Looking Ahead

Redemption’s shredding facility is the first of its kind in Midland dedicated to the oil and gas industry. By offering on-site recycling, the company ensures operators save on logistics, landowners see cleaner sites, and the community benefits from reduced landfill pressure.

As the industry continues its focus on ESG initiatives, Redemption Oilfield Services positions itself as a trusted partner in helping producers meet their sustainability goals without sacrificing operational efficiency.
