Regeneration & Sustainability A GEIR Update
GEIR is the European Waste Oil Regeneration Industry section of the Union of the European Lubricants Industry (UEIL) and represents 17 waste oil regeneration refineries in 9 Member States. GEIR mainly focuses on ensuring higher collection and regeneration rates of waste oils in all EU Member States by contributing to the ongoing revision of the EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD).
The WFD gives the great opportunity to amend article 21 with the view to strengthen Member States’ obligation regarding regeneration, notably by mandating them to send waste oils to regeneration facilities through mandatory regeneration targets as introduced and proposed by GEIR.
During the revision process of the EU WFD, GEIR members have been very active in sharing experience and best practice in each country to address proposals and specifically include new articles concerning waste oil. The intense discussions between the European Commission, EU Parliament and Council seem to result in a compromise.
It is foreseen that Commission shall examine data on waste oils provided by Member States in accordance with Article 37(1) with a view to considering the feasibility of setting measures for the treatment of waste oils, including quantitative targets on regeneration of waste oils and any further measures to promote the regeneration of waste oils. To this end, a report of the Commission, accompanied by a proposal, if appropriate, shall be sent to the European Parliament and the Council.
GEIR is pleased to see that its active approach towards EU regulation lead to new positive perspective for regeneration. This process, together with the superior topic of sustainability represent the main focus of GEIR activities in the near future. The association is sure that it can serve as leading source of information with regards to market data on lube consumption, waste oil collection and its usage within the EU.
Further priorities of GEIR include the interface between chemicals, products and waste legislation and Green Public Procurement. One of the actions that EC announced in its Communication, “Closing the loop – An EU action plan for the Circular Economy”, was the intention to undertake an “Analysis and [prepare] policy options to address the interface between chemicals, products and waste legislation, including how to reduce the presence and improve the tracking of chemicals of concern in products”.
Regeneration refineries have to compete with virgin base oils mainly produced by big oil companies and have to achieve comparable quality requirements. The regeneration industry in Europe is a niche business in the Oil & Gas sector - it is growing and investing constantly. However, besides bio-based base oils, the regeneration industry represents the “green area” of the lubricant market. It could significantly contribute to improve the image of the lube industry with view to ecological aspects and sustainability.
