The EU Waste Directives 75/439/EEC as amended by 87/101/EEC and 91/692/
EEC had given priority to re-refining
1
in the use of collected used oil. But
individual countries
couldn’t meet this.
These countries say that re-refining is
uneconomic in their circumstance and that there is no clear cut environmental
advantage over burning
1
. Conflicting studies could not resolve this issue and the
EU “commissioned a review of existing environmental impact studies which was
published in 2001 and applied life cycle analysis to used oil disposal and
concluded that “p
riority to regeneration of waste oils over use as fuel is not
justified by any clear advantage
4
.
”
Members were quick to point out that life cycle
assessment studies (e.g. Sofres)
4
reached similar conclusion and that
environmental benefits come from increased collection rates of used oil rather
than its final use.
