With over 27 years of expertise, Co-founder and Managing Director Mike MacKay has been a driving force in aerosol recycling, and alongside Eelco Osse, CEO DESPRAY and Osse Equipment Manufacturing Group. With his world-class business and engineering leadership, DESPRAY has grown exponentially. The success is built on innovation, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to making aerosol recycling 100% safe and 100% effective.

Mike MacKay: “For too long, safety has been the barrier to true aerosol recycling. We set out to change that—and we did. Over the past decade, DESPRAY has proven that full-circle aerosol recycling isn’t just possible, it’s profitable, it’s scalable, and it’s environmentally essential. We’re not just keeping up with sustainability goals; we’re defining them.”


Over the years, DESPRAY systems have recycled more than half a billion aerosol cans, preventing millions of tons of hazardous waste from entering landfills. With a full range of scalable solutions, from the compact DS500 Micro to the high-capacity DS5000F, DESPRAY continues to provide waste management companies and environmental leaders with the most advanced aerosol recycling technology available.

Eelco Osse: “DESPRAY’s technology didn’t just enter the market—it redefined it. Our approach has set the global benchmark for aerosol recycling, and we continue to lead the industry with innovations that others are only now starting to understand. The next decade will prove that DESPRAY isn’t just ahead of the curve—we are the curve.”

Looking to the future, DESPRAY Environmental remains committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainability, safety, and efficiency. With new projects on the horizon and growing global adoption, the next decade promises even greater advancements in aerosol recycling.
