Decree 4741 of 2005 regulates the management of hazardous waste in Colombia, including used oils. Recently, adjustments have been implemented that reinforce the responsibilities of generators and managers of these wastes.
This resolution establishes guidelines for the collection and final disposal of used oils, requiring companies to register their processes with environmental authorities and ensure proper recycling or treatment.
The government has promoted the circular economy in the management of used oils, encouraging their reuse in industrial processes and the regeneration of lubricating oils to reduce environmental impact.
The new regulations directly impact the automotive, industrial, and transportation sectors, requiring them to:
- Implement adequate collection and storage systems.
- Work with certified managers for the disposal of used oils.
- Adopt technologies for the reuse and regeneration of oils.
- Reduction of penalties: Avoid fines and penalties for non-compliance.
- Lower environmental impact: Contribute to the protection of ecosystems.
- Cost optimization: Reuse of oils in industrial processes.
