As we work towards achieving a climate-neutral society, we are witnessing a shift from a linear economy, characterised by a cycle of taking, making, using, and disposing, to a circular economy that prioritises sustainability, resource efficiency, and waste reduction.
The linear approach of lubricants follows the classic pathway, where lubricants are produced from base oils or through synthetic processes and used in various industries (automotive, manufacturing, heavy duty, marine, etc). After usage, oils may be either lost or recovered in the form of conversion to fuel/incineration or re-refined to base oils (RRBO). Re-refined base oils are gaining more attention thanks to their innate contribution to sustainable practices.
RRBO can be obtained via a range of different technologies such as hydro-treatment, solvent extraction, and distillation. Once these processes are completed, a clean and high-quality base oil remains. This base oil can be reused and blended with additives to create an engine oil for example.
RRBO follows a circular economy path and has several sustainable benefits:

RRBO follows a circular economy path and has several sustainable benefits:
- Resource efficiency as it reduces the need for new oil sources and uses less energy for extraction and production
- Waste Reduction as it helps keep used oil out of the environment and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators.
- Extends product life cycle through reuse.
- Offers uncompromised performance. Products made with re-refined base oil are of high quality and perform similarly to fresh base oils.
