Companies across several industries accumulate waste oil every day and normally, many of those companies go through the process of disposing of it—properly and safely, of course, but what if it could serve another purpose?

3 Ways to Properly Reuse your Used Oil

Used Oil can be easily recycled

Reconditioning Used Oil

This process takes place on site and essentially brings your used oil back to its former glory—almost. Reconditioning allows you to remove any impurities that the oil contains and reuse the oil as you normally would, lengthening the oil’s lifespan but not its overall quality.


Re-refining Used Oil

This process saves energy and keeps you from bringing more oil into the workplace. By re-refining the oil, you are removing the impurities and then utilizing the treated oil to act as a base for new oil.


Processing and Burning Used Oil

This process removes all of the water from the waste oil and is then used to generate heat or power. This is the most energy-efficient way to recycle your used oil, giving it a new purpose producing clean heat and power.
