In addition to bottle bill and e-waste legislation being introduced by state governments, there are important recycling laws being introduced in the federal government.

 

Used Oil Re-Refining

Used Oil

Used oil can be re-refined into new lubricating oil in an endless recycled loop, providing many energy and environmental benefits.  Re-refining conserves the crude oil supply by reusing the motor oil rather than having to extract additional crude oil from diminishing domestic supplies or importing additional crude oil from foreign countries. It also takes less energy to re-refine than to produce oil from virgin resources, and the quality of the end result is the same.

National legislation has recently been proposed.  Learn more
