Advice and warnings about used oil
Don't throw used oil away, it's very
harmful
1 litre
of used oil pollutes
1 million litres
of water
Burning
5 litres
of used oil pollutes the same amount of air as a person breathes in
three years
1 litre
of used oil can form a
4000m2 slick
Used oil can be re-refined
indefinitely
Sustainable development begins with
selective collection
Burning used oil after a single use doesn't make sense -
let's make the most of it
Petroleum is not a renewable energy source -
save it.
Wherever you change your oil, ask for a
guarantee of its destination
Co-operate with the environment
- ask your supplier for lubricants made with re-refined oils
Don't mix used oil with other products
as this could make it impossible to recycle it
The most expensive part of treating waste is separating it -
don't mix
The ideal oil for recycling is motor oil.
Don't throw it away
.
In some places used oil is used as weed killer, but it also
kills plants
Don't burn used oil.
The gases produced when used oil is burned can cause asphyxia and lung cancer.
It has been proved that
re-refined oil
in modern refineries is of at least the
same quality
as the first refining.

".
The use of motor oil made with re-refined base oil considerably reduces the emission of
CO2, SO3 y NOx
Obtaining the same amount of oil through re-refining
consumes 2/3 less energy
than the first refining.
From
3 litres
of used oil you can obtain
2 litres
of new oil. You need 100 litres of petroleum to get the same amount.
Re-refined oils and the lubricants made from them are
ecological products
