The Importance of Circular Economy in the Automotive Sector
Since the largest generation of Used or Contaminated Lubricating Oil – OLUC, occurs in the event’s target segment, Lwart Environmental Solutions will be present to promote greater awareness about the proper disposal of this waste among participating companies.
A 100% Brazilian company, Lwart brings to FENABRAVE a practical example of circular economy involving OLUC, a waste with highly polluting potential if improperly disposed of. Lwart is the only company in Latin America to rerun OLUC and produce Group II base oils, which are recognized for their high purity and quality.
Lwart: Leader in OLUC Recycling Economy in National Territory
Additionally, Lwart holds the largest market share in the national collection of OLUC, with significant coverage across Brazil, including numerous dealerships that will also be present at FENABRAVE.
The importance of the company’s reach in collection reflects on the environmental impact of OLUC, as, according to AMBIOLUC, a representative entity in the sector, ‘one liter of used lubricating oil can contaminate 1 million liters of water’, denoting a severe environmental impact due to its high capacity to contaminate soil, water, and air.
‘Lwart will be at FENABRAVE showcasing its expertise in transforming used oil back into pure base oil, adopting exemplary circular economy practices and demonstrating the positive impact on sustainability. Our results highlight the benefits that OLUC circularity brings to the environment’, comments Rodrigo Maia, Director of Collection and Logistics at Lwart Environmental Solutions.
Impressive Results and Impact on Foreign Currency Savings
In 2023, the company’s production reached 176 million liters of GII base oils, marking a 5.3% increase compared to the previous year, this being the largest recorded mark by the company, which holds a 44.9% market share among rerunners, according to ANP. This production volume comes from the 222 million liters of OLUC collected in 2023, representing a record for Lwart. This performance means removing a hazardous waste from circulation, highly polluting, and reintroducing it into the production chain, generating value and meeting the needs of the national market, which still relies on imports.
Lwart Environmental Solutions increased the volume of OLUC collected by 19% compared to 2022, attributing this growth to intensified collection operations in 2023. It is worth noting that rerunning contributes to reducing imports of this mineral oil, ensuring annual foreign currency savings for Brazil, strengthening the Brazilian manufacturing industry, generating jobs, and encouraging sustainable development.
Regulation and Compliance with the Law
Brazilian legislation stipulates that all OLUC must be collected and destined for recycling through rerunning and categorically prohibits the use of the waste as fuel, disposal for burning, or for any other purpose.
