SIGAUS updates its market share, taking into account the new regulations on vehicles at the end of their working life
SIGAUS has recently published the results of its new independent study into the global market for lubricant oils consumed in Spain and its position, along with that of other agents therein. The study bears in mind the provisions of Royal Decree 20/2017, passed on the 20th of January, on vehicles at the end of their working lives. SIGAUS’ new market share stands at 85.34%, even though, as the principal IMS, continues to assume a “scam sack” (fraudulent use) estimated at 1.23% meaning, finally the company is held responsible for the financing of 86.57% of waste oils generated in Spain.

he study, conducted at the beginning of 2017 by the consultancy firm PwC on data from 2016, clearly reflects the changes experienced in the share of responsibilities with respect to waste oils, as a result of the entry into force of the new legislation which excludes from the scope of RD 679/2006, and, therefore from SIGAUS, although not from the scope of producer responsibility, waste oils from vehicles at the end of their working lives (vehicles for the transport of persons with up to 9 seats, for the transport of freight of up to 3.5 tons, and vehicles with 3 symmetrical wheels), whose handing must be financed, from now on, by the manufacturers of said automobiles.
Thus, SIGAUS represents 288,846 tons of industrial oils (the volume that was placed on the market in 2016 by its 216 affiliated companies, excluding lubricants used in the first filling of vehicles), accounting for 85.34% of the total industrial oils sold in Spain and submitted to responsibility of the producers (whether this is regulated through the RD 679/2006 governing SIGAUS, or other similar legislation), in other words, those placed on the market whose manufacturers or producers (whether these are lubricant oils, apparatus or vehicles that contain them) are duty bound to establish in each case the mechanisms for handling resulting waste oils.
Secondly, regarding the market share, we have the other integrated management system for used oils, SIGPI, accounting for 7.16% of said total of the industrial oils used in Spain. And thirdly, the oils used in the first filling of vehicles and their components that have been marketed in Spain (subject to, since January of this year, the new Royal Decree 20/2017), with 4.84%.
Along with the increases in these market portions outside of SIGAUS’ control, it is worth mentioning the volume of the so-called “free riders”, unidentified manufacturers in possible fraudulent situations and whose liability quota (1.13%) is still assumed by SIGAUS on a voluntary basis. This represents industrial oils imported as a product or part of machinery and which, with almost 4,000 tons, still represents a significant part of the industrial oils that are commercialised in Spain.

“
Periodic study conducted by an independent consultancy, determines what part of the industrial oil market in Spain is affected by RD 679/2006 and, within it, which is subject to the responsibility of the producer and what percentage is the volume adhered to SIGAUS.
„
In an overall sense, the market share under the auspice of the producers of industrial oils has shifted from 334.669 tons in 2015 to 338.464 tons in 2016, an increase of 1%, whilst the market total, in which products that do not create this type of obligations for its traders are included, such as fats, processing oils, marine and aviation oils, grew in the last fiscal year by 10%.
SIGAUS’ market share (85.34%) along with the scam sack (1.13%), plus the margin of error of 0.10%, accounts for the total financial liability share (86.57%) for treated used oils assumed by SIGAUS.This quota is two points lower than the previous market standing and will be backdated from the 1st of February 2017, as is set forth in the contracts underwritten by SIGAUS with the used oil handlers.
With regard to the financing of the collection of used oils, SIGAUS will apply a market share of 91.4%, as it will no longer finance the collection from Authorised Treatment Centres (ATC) for vehicles at the end of their working lives, or in Decontamination Centres managed by the RAEE, meaning that, for collection in the different points the latter has, the responsibility of SIGAUS is that of its market share (the aforementioned 288,846 tons of its affiliate companies) on the total of industrial oils consumed in Spain and affected by RD 679/2006.
