The system in charge of managing used industrial oils (Sigaus) was collected in 2,191 establishments in 280 Aragon municipalities, of which 94% are in rural areas, a total of 5,360 gross tons, the waste manager reports in a press release .
38% of the 5,360 tons collected came from vehicle workshops, although the manager recalls that the volume of used oil recovered is greater than the amount of waste that is finally treated, since it includes large amounts of improper, such as water or sediments.
Substances that, during pre-treatment, have to be separated to facilitate their final management and which, if not managed correctly, could have a high environmental impact.
