In all companies that work with industrial fluids , the management of used oils is not only an operational responsibility, but also an environmental and regulatory one. Choosing the right container is not a detail: it is the first step towards correct and safe management .
Let's see why.
✅ Why is it essential to use certified containers?
1. Environmental benefits
Just one liter of waste oil can contaminate up to one million liters of water. Using approved and resistant containers is essential to avoid dispersion and protect water resources and the territory.
2. Operational efficiency
Properly organizing the storage of used oils improves internal flows, reduces risks for personnel and speeds up collection and disposal operations.
3. Corporate image
Transparent and compliant management strengthens the company's reputation in the eyes of customers, partners and certifying bodies. It is a competitive advantage, as well as an ethical obligation.
How to use a waste oil container correctly?
Each type of oil has different characteristics and risks. This is why it is important:
-
Avoid contamination by using separate and dedicated containers
-
Ensure operator safety by choosing resistant, approved and hermetically sealable products
-
Facilitate storage and transportation with stackable and safely transportable solutions
What does the law say?

-
Identified, labelled and stored in containers in compliance with the regulations
-
Managed by authorized operators , with complete traceability from the producer to the final recipient
-
Disposed of in compliance with rigorous procedures
Failure to comply entails administrative and criminal sanctions , including for negligence. The company is responsible.
