Stock Car 2023: Pioneering Sustainability and Circular Economy
The 2023 season of the Stock Car Pro Series, a renowned event in Brazilian motorsport, successfully concluded, standing out for its implementation of sustainable initiatives. The partnership with Lwart Environmental Solutions resulted in the rerefining of used lubricant oil by the teams, a milestone in sustainable management in sports. Approximately 1,700 liters of oil were collected and transformed into high-performance base oil, exemplifying the effectiveness of the circular economy in the category.
This action not only complies with Brazilian legislation, which requires the recycling of used or contaminated lubricant oil (OLUC), but also establishes Stock Car as an example of environmental commitment. One liter of OLUC can contaminate up to one million liters of water, making this initiative crucial for environmental protection.
Lwart Environmental Solutions: Strategic Partner in Sustainability
The partnership between Stock Car and Lwart Environmental Solutions, a 100% Brazilian company, was fundamental for the success of this project. Specialized in the collection and rerefining of OLUC, Lwart played a crucial role in the logistics and processing of the oil. The initiative reflects Stock Car’s commitment to sustainable practices and the support of strategic partners like Lwart.
-
Gas stations will sell gasoline at R$ 4.24 for a limited time, and the campaign with 50,000 liters promises to attract drivers looking for savings.
-
Behind a simple payment via Pix, Brazil is building a layer of financial sovereignty to reduce exposure to the dollar, foreign brands, and U.S. economic sanction instruments.
-
Pix has ceased to be just a means of payment, becoming a high-profile brand at the INPI, gaining protection that spans all sectors of the economy, and now enters a legal category reserved for well-known, strong, and difficult-to-copy names in Brazil.
-
The Construction Industry generates R$ 522.5 billion in Brazil, employs 2.5 million people, and reveals the strength of infrastructure projects, which alone reached R$ 200.9 billion in 2024.
Rodrigo Maia, Director of Collection and Logistics at Lwart, emphasized the importance of responsible collection and proper disposal of oil for environmental preservation. This action reinforces Stock Car’s role in promoting the circular economy and its commitment to sustainability.
The Rerefining Process at Stock Car
The collection of OLUC was carried out through drums installed near the pits of each team. After each race weekend, the collected oil was transported to Lwart’s factory in Lençóis Paulista/SP, one of the most advanced in the world for rerefining used lubricant oil. Stock Car received the Oil Collection Certificate and the Final Destination Certificate, validating its compliance with environmental standards.
This process not only transforms used lubricant oil into a new product, but also demonstrates Brazil’s capacity for effective environmental management, with Stock Car leading the way.
Impact and Legacy of the Initiative
In its 2023 season, Stock Car not only provided exciting shows on the tracks but also raised the standard of sustainability in sports. The initiative of rerefining used lubricant oil, in partnership with Lwart Environmental Solutions, serves as a model for other categories and sporting events, reinforcing the commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
The Stock Car Pro Series, with its innovative and sustainable approach, continues to be one of the leading categories in South American motorsport, attracting major names in the sport and generating significant economic impact in the cities that host its stages. The category not only promotes motorsport but also leads by example in sustainability and environmental responsibility.
