Energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection to promote the waste oil industry is still promising

Waste oil recycling is of great significance to resource conservation and environmental protection. As China continues to increase energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection efforts, it has played a great role in promoting the waste oil industry, and the future development of the waste oil industry is still foreseeable.

Waste oil is a semi-solid or liquid object that has been used and consists in whole or in part of mineral or synthetic oil, residues in oil tanks, mixtures of oil and water, and emulsion. According to different sources, waste oil is divided into waste internal combustion engine oil, waste Gear Oil, waste hydraulic oil, waste transformer oil, waste compressor oil and so on.

Waste oil is produced in a wide range of fields, most notably from transportation and industry. In transportation, including automobiles, locomotives, ships, etc.; In industry, such as mining, metallurgy, automobile manufacturing, non-ferrous metal processing.

Because the waste oil contains a lot of toxic substances, if discharged without treatment, it is very easy to cause environmental damage and threaten human health. Waste oil is harmful to the environment mainly in three aspects, namely water pollution, air pollution and soil pollution. If the toxic substances in the waste oil flow into the human body, it will lead to the loss of normal function of cells, resulting in cancer and sudden disease.

According to the "China Waste Oil Industry Development Prospects and Investment forecast Analysis Report" released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, 1 liter of waste oil can pollute 1 million liters of fresh water, more harmful than industrial solid waste. Because of the serious threat of waste oil to economy, environment and human health, governments all over the world attach great importance to its treatment and recycling.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Italy and other countries began to pay attention to the problem of waste oil, and formulated a series of policies and regulations to regulate, encourage and improve the waste oil treatment and recycling system. Among them, Germany passed the "German Federal Waste Oil Law" in 1968, prohibiting waste oil abandonment, and setting up funds to subsidize waste oil recycling industries and waste incineration companies.

Our country also attaches great importance to the waste oil problem and has taken a series of positive measures to deal with it. However, compared with developed countries, China's waste oil recovery and recycling is still relatively weak, and the progress is relatively slow.

On the one hand, policies and regulations only serve as guidance, without mandatory requirements, and lack of punitive and fiscal drastic measures; On the other hand, the waste oil resources themselves have many problems, such as complex varieties, inconsistent indicators and restricted transportation, which lead to many restrictions on the recovery and recycling of waste oil.

Policy improvement and government subsidies are the main driving force for the benign development of waste oil recycling in a country. In the future, China needs to further improve relevant policies, regulations and waste oil recycling system.

Effective recycling and recycling of waste oil is of great significance to reduce environmental pollution, guide energy conservation and promote sustainable economic development in China, and the future prospect is still worth looking forward to.
