During the one-and-a-half-hour training session, SIGAUS gave the University of Murcia students a detailed overview of the industrial waste oil management process in Spain, providing them with guidelines to help them handle this waste in their future professional careers. They also stressed how waste oil is a waste product that, if collected and properly treated, can be 100% recycled and used to make new oils or industrial fuels. At the end of the presentation, the students put their acquired knowledge to the test by participating in an interactive quiz on the Kahoot! platform, obtaining very positive results that demonstrated their understanding of the topic.

The SIGAUS team was received by Asunción Hidalgo, Vice-Dean of Chemical Engineering at the University of Murcia, who highlighted how important it is for students to be able to receive this type of training first hand. According to Hidalgo, this type of university-business collaboration is important, as it can lead to other types of synergies. Furthermore, the Vice-Dean noted that this training not only allows SIGAUS to comply with its Environmental Classroom training programme, but also to project all of its knowledge on industrial waste oil management onto society.
