Used Oils Observatory
The Used Oils Observatory is a digital platform that came about with the intention of being a useful tool for showing how used industrial oil is generated in Spain. A demonstration of the value of the universal collection service provided by SIGAUS, which guarantees that the waste is collected wherever it is generated throughout Spain, even in rural or difficult to access areas, and even if concentrated in small quantities.24 RECUPERACION DEL ACEITE INDUSTRIAL USADO.

How is used oil generated in Spain?
Used oil is generated in Spain in a very unequal manner: concentrated in certain areas but with the rest being highly dispersed, which implies great logistical complexity and economic cost.
What type of establishments generate used oil?
Car repairs and industries are the most common generators, but the generation of used oil is extremely atomised and is produced in other business activities such as catering, construction, agriculture or commerce, among others.
What service is provided in areas of special environmental risk?
Through SIGAUS, used oil is collected from approximately 3,500 rural towns where there are high rates of fragmentation and dispersion of the waste which require a more complex and costly collection operation.
