what we do
Green Oil is the only small-scale oil recycling company that transforms 100% of used lubricants and waste oils into valuable new fuel products
Other oil recycling companies transform used lubricants into new lubricants using a vacuum distillation process with a 65%-75% yield. Green Oil recycles 100% of used and waste oils to create diesel fuel alternatives and other fuels. The process is eco-friendly and produces zero waste.
The Collection and Recycling Process
Used lubricating oils are defined as hazardous substances because they contain dirt and heavy metals from both the metal parts of an engine and the fuels used by the engines.
Green Oil collects these hazardous substances from garages and industrial factories through subcontractors authorized by the Israel Ministry of Environmental Protection.
Green Oil then uses a unique refining process to remove contaminants from the collected oils and to recover base lubes or various fuel products.
Why We Do It
“Used mineral lubricating oils represent the largest amount of liquid, non-aqueous hazardous waste in the world…a lot of oil to dispose of every year.”
GEIR (Groupement Européen de l’Industrie de la Régénération) is the European Re-refining Industry Section of UEIL.
Green Oil’s mission is to provide a sustainable solution to the issue of hazardous waste fuels, oils, and lubricants. We use cleantech innovation to transform these materials into valuable and useful fuels for cities and industries.
Green Oil’s system of recycling used oil has many benefits, including:
Compliance
The Green Oil refinery is recognized as a hazardous waste site by the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection and is fully compliant with its permits and regulations.
Green Oil also meets the requirements of the Basel Convention regarding the recovery of waste.
