India generates over 1.3 million tonnes of used lubricating oil annually, yet less than 40% is collected and re-refined. The circular economy approach — collecting, testing, re-refining, and reusing spent lubricants — reduces environmental impact, conserves petroleum resources, and creates economic value.
Used oil analysis plays a critical role in the circular economy by determining whether spent oil is suitable for re-refining, identifying contamination that must be removed, and verifying the quality of re-refined base stocks. Testing parameters include TAN, water content, wear metals, and PCB screening.
Enablyst Labs supports re-refiners, waste oil collectors, and environmentally conscious industries with comprehensive used oil characterization. Together, we can build a sustainable lubricant ecosystem aligned with NITI Aayog's resource efficiency goals and CPCB guidelines.
