Engine oil disposal: what do you need to know as a car company?

Dispose of used engine oil? Then you have to deal with strict environmental regulations. Engine oil is considered hazardous waste. For garages and car companies this means: you may not just dispose of it yourself. An authorized collector is required. At Koeweit Oliehandel, we arrange waste management for hundreds of automotive companies. Reliable, fast and in full compliance with laws and regulations.

Fast and hassle-free!

Legal obligations when disposing of engine oil

Once engine oil comes out of a vehicle, it falls under the hazardous waste rules. This means, among other things:

  • You must store the oil in approved, leak-proof drums or tanks.

  • Disposal must be registered through the National Waste Notification Point (LMA).

  • Only authorized collectors may transport and process this type of waste.

That may sound like a lot of administration, but we are happy to take that worry off your hands. As a certified collector, we ensure that your waste stream is collected, recorded and recycled correctly.

From waste to raw material: engine oil in the circular chain

What happens to your used engine oil? It gets a second life with us. Through our parent company Puraglobe we convert collected oil into high-quality base oil (Group III/III+), using patented HyLube™ technology.

That circular oil then finds its way back into new motor oil, lubricants for fine mechanics and even plastic production, among other things. And that with up to 80% less CO₂ emissions than traditional production. Together, we are making the chain future-proof.

Waste is raw material in the making. And you contribute to that.
