Croatian Experience in Waste Oil Management
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper describes the course of introducing and implementing regulations ensuring efficient waste oil (lubricant and edible oil) management, as well as results obtained based on long-term experience in monitoring and reporting on the management of this special waste category. According to the results from 2007 to 2012, between 6 000 and 7 000 t of waste lubricant oil was collected in the Republic of Croatia. Quantities of collected waste edible oil in the same period indicate low recovered amounts compared to the estimated annual quantities of fresh edible oil placed on the market (50 000 t), i.e. supposed quantities of waste edible oil recovered vary, from 3.6 % to 8.6%.
