OF USED MINERAL OILS
& OTHER HAZARDOUS WASTE
MANAGEMENT OF USED MINERAL OILS
Mineral oils are petroleum derivatives, mainly used as lubricants in internal combustion engines, as well as in specialized applications such as hydraulic oils, industrial lubricants, metalworking oils and transformer oils (PCB-free). During their use, mineral oils become contaminated with hazardous chemicals, making them unsuitable for further use as lubricants. This degradation is due to the accumulation of toxic and hazardous components, such as heavy metals, aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins and sulfur, as well as the loss of their basic characteristics.
The improper disposal of used oils poses serious risks to human health and the natural environment. Therefore, legislation has categorized them as hazardous waste, imposing strict requirements for their management. Regeneration emerges as the most appropriate and environmentally sound method, ensuring both sustainability and environmental protection.
Modern technological methods make it possible to recover up to 100% of useful materials, providing high-quality regenerated lubricants, fully certified and compatible with the requirements of the modern market.
The re-refining process separates water, bitumen products and oil, while through distillation the lubricating oil is recovered in a form equivalent to that of primary production.
Therefore, used mineral oils do not represent the end of their useful life, but the beginning of a perpetual and sustainable cycle of reuse, promoting the principle of the circular economy.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE
We undertake the obligation to pick up the ALE with a suitably equipped tank truck, to pick up at least 200 lt (180 kg). This is done by means of a pump, with which the temporarily stored A.L.E. is sucked up. from tanks and barrels. Our company has a nationwide license to collect and transport waste lubricating oils, but does not have storage facilities. The quantities he collects, he transports them on the same day for storage in one of the collection centers of the Alternative Management System "ENDIALE S.A.", until he disposes them in certified treatment facilities (refineries).
ALE must not be mixed with substances such as: used antifreeze, brake fluid, waste fuel, halogenated solvents or any other type of hazardous waste, which must be managed separately. Transformer oils or oil products that may contain PCBs are tested prior to collection on a case-by-case basis. MANOIL uses an ongoing used oil testing program to check for contamination non-compliance. ALEs found to be out of specification or hazardous due to contamination are rejected for collection.
The ownership and risk of the ALE to be managed passes and is transferred from the producer to our company upon completion of the delivery of a Shipping Note issued for this purpose by the producer with the recipient's details indicated by our company. At the same time, we undertake to issue an "Acknowledgment Form - Receipt Certificate" (as provided for by PD82/ΕΚ64Α/2-3-2004, article 5#D), which we deliver duly completed and share with the cooperating Alternative Management System (AMS), ensuring full compliance with Environmental Legislation and all hazardous waste regulations.
In case of intentional/unintentional pollution or an emergency, our company becomes responsible for covering the damages to third parties and restoring the environment to its previous state.
