Sustainability
Oil is renewable.Wasting it is not.
Our most significant contribution to the country is not just economical. It is the ordinary work of collecting used and waste petroleum products and re-refining them, which prevents the harm that improper disposal does.
What the plant does in a year
The numbers behind it
of used oil returned to the marketplace every year as clean recycled base oils, lubricants and associated products.
than refining the same oil from crude. One gallon of reclaimed motor oil yields as much engine oil as 42 gallons of crude.
less greenhouse gas produced annually than burning the same used oil for energy.
One litre of used oil can contaminate up to one million litres of water. That ratio is the reason this company exists.
What improper disposal actually costs
Poured on land, oil renders soil infertile and disrupts plant growth. Reaching water, a single litre can spoil a million. Burned as fuel, it pollutes the air and destroys a renewable but scarce natural resource that could have been used again and again.
Re-refining avoids all three outcomes at once. It is not a trade-off between the environment and the economics — the recycled oil is cheaper to produce than the virgin equivalent, which is why the business has been viable for forty years without needing anyone's goodwill.
A loop, not a line
Our re-refining process turns used oil into base oils, which can then be converted into lubricating oils that can themselves be recycled and reused indefinitely, without compromising quality. The very oil we sell today can return to us tomorrow, creating an infinite lifecycle. That is a circular economy that Min Oils has successfully created and maintained for over 40 years.
Send us your used oil
The best thing you can do with it is give it back
If your site generates used lubricating oil, we will arrange collection. It becomes base oil, and then it becomes lubricant again.
