OF USED MINERAL OILS
& OTHER HAZARDOUS WASTE
USED MINERAL OIL MANAGEMENT
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. 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 essential characteristics.
Improper disposal of used mineral 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 the 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.

OUR SERVICES
Our company is active in the collection of waste lubricating oils (WLO), utilizing a specially equipped tanker vehicle equipped with a high-performance pump for suction from suitable temporary storage containers (tanks and barrels).
We hold a nationwide license to collect and transport ALE, but do not have our own storage facilities. The collected quantities are transported on the same day to approved collection centers of the Alternative Management System "ENDIALE S.A." for temporary storage, before being forwarded to certified processing facilities (refineries).
ALE should not be mixed with substances such as: used antifreeze, brake fluids, waste fuels, halogenated solvents or other types of hazardous waste, which require separate management. Transformer oils and other oil products that may contain PCBs are subject to a case-by-case screening prior to collection. Our company implements a comprehensive testing program to ensure the suitability of used lubricants. In cases where ALE is found to be out of specification or hazardous due to contamination, it is excluded from the collection process.
The ownership and risk of the ALE to be managed are transferred from the producer to our company upon completion of the delivery. The producer issues a Shipping Note, on which the details of our company are listed as the recipient. At the same time, we issue electronically the required "Identification Form - Receipt Confirmation" (in accordance with Presidential Decree 82/Government Gazette 64A/2-3-2004, article 5#D). This form is sent, duly completed, and notified to the cooperating Alternative Management System (SED) and to the competent Service of the Ministry of Environment, ensuring full compliance with environmental legislation and hazardous waste management regulations.
In cases of intentional or unintentional pollution, as well as in emergency incidents, our company assumes full responsibility for the restoration of damages to third parties and the restoration of the environment to its original state.
