The circular economy and waste engine oil

Join us in turning used engine oil into valuable resources while reducing emissions and conserving materials.

Embrace a sustainable, circular solution for waste engine oil

Re-refining your used engine oil helps keep valuable materials in circulation and reduces reliance on fresh crude. This process lowers your carbon footprint, protects the environment, and meets industry regulations—building a more responsible future for everyone.

What is the circular economy?

A circular economy keeps materials in use for as long as possible, minimising waste and reducing the need for virgin resources. Unlike the conventional “take-make-dispose” model, it emphasises reuse, recycling, and regeneration. By re-refining your used oil, you directly contribute to resource conservation, help lower carbon emissions, and support a cleaner, more resilient global economy.

The Circular Economy process

Our circular economy approach ensures that every drop of waste oil is collected, re-refined, and reused, rather than disposed of or burned. Here’s how it works:

Collection

Waste oil is gathered from customers’ sites and stored in local depot tanks.

Transport

Collected oil is shipped in bulk to a cutting-edge facility for re-refining.

Distribution

Waste oil is gathered from customers’ sites and stored in local depot tanks.

Re-refining

Contaminants are removed, producing high-quality base oil.

Reuse

The resulting lubricants are sold to consumers, continuing the cycle again and again.
