EPR Guidelines

Categories Of Used Oil Under EPR

Used Motor Oil
Category I

Used Motor Oil

Engine crankcase oils, transmission fluids, and gear oils that pick up metal particles, water, and chemical additives through use.

Industrial Oil
Category II

Industrial Oil

Hydraulic fluids, turbine oils, compressor oils, and metalworking fluids used in manufacturing.

Transformer/Electrical Oil
Category III

Transformer/Electrical Oil

Insulating oils used in capacitors and transformers; these require special handling due to the potential for toxic PCB contamination.

Cooking Oil
Category IV

Cooking Oil

Fats and vegetable oils from commercial kitchens; although non-toxic, they are regulated to prevent sewer blockages and are often converted into biodiesel.

CPCB Guidelines

India's EPR Roadmap for Used Oil

1. Registration

Every lubricant oil producer, importer, and brand owner must register with the CPCB / SPCB under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.

2. Collection Targets

Mandatory collection of 50% of used oil generated by weight in the initial phase, scaling up to 90% in subsequent compliance cycles.

3. Reporting & Audits

Quarterly returns, annual compliance reports, and third-party audits to ensure complete traceability—from collection to re-refining or co-processing.

4. Extended Responsibility

Producers are responsible for the entire lifecycle—from collection, storage, and transport to re-refining, energy recovery, and safe disposal of oily sludges.

Indian Used Oil Recycling
#UsedOilEPR
The Process

From Waste Oil to Base Stock

Scroll through our end-to-end used oil re-refining value chain.

1. Collection

Aggregating used lubricating oil from automotive workshops, service stations, industrial machinery, and defence establishments across India.

Logistics

2. Storage & Segregation

Safe storage in bunded tanks, segregation by viscosity/contamination level, and initial testing to determine the best treatment path.

Safety & QC

3. Pre-treatment

De-watering, filtration, and chemical treatment to remove suspended solids, metals, and water content before re-refining.

Physical/Chemical

4. Re-refining

Vacuum distillation, hydro-treating, and clay polishing to produce high-quality Group I / Group II base oils equivalent to virgin grades.

Thermal/Catalytic

5. Circular Output

Re-refined base oils, light distillates, and recovered additives are sent back to lubricant formulators and downstream industries.

Closed-Loop
Value Creation

What We Recover

Re-refined Base Oil

High-viscosity Group I & II base oils, chemically identical to virgin grades, used in automotive and industrial lubricants.

Fuel Oil

Recovered light and heavy fuel oils used in industrial boilers, cement kilns, and marine applications as a cleaner alternative.

Lubricant Additives

Recovered additive packages and intermediate chemical fractions reused in metalworking fluids and grease formulations.

Bitumen / Asphalt

Heavy residue from distillation processed into high-quality bitumen for road construction and waterproofing applications.

National Impact

India's Used Oil Challenge

India generates over 1.5 million tonnes of used lubricating oil annually. With rapid industrialization and vehicle growth, EPR compliance is critical for preventing soil/water contamination, conserving crude oil, and building a circular lubricant economy.

Maharashtra 25% of used oil
Tamil Nadu 20% of used oil
Gujarat 15% of used oil
Uttar Pradesh 12% of used oil
60% Informal Sector (Currently handling plastic waste)

Why You Must Act Now (Lessons from 2025)

⏱️

Early Preparation is Key

Many PIBOs underestimated the time required to collect, validate, and categorize packaging data. Those who began early met deadlines with confidence.

💡 Engage data owners early

📊

Finance Teams Need Forecasting

EPR fees are now a measurable line item. Collaboration between sustainability, legal, and finance is critical.

💡 Align budgets & cycles

🎯

Packaging Data Accuracy Matters

Many producers struggled with inaccurate weights or missing supplier data, leading to massive financial risks.

💡 Use 3rd-party expert reviews

🧩

Complex Portfolios Need Tailored Approaches

Multi-brand companies face challenges consolidating packaging data across varying material types and categories.

💡 Require a customized data model
