๐ Whatโs Driving Used Motor Oil Prices in 2025?
Global markets are shifting fast, and used oil โ once considered a disposal problem โ is now a valuable resource.
Key drivers include:
- ๐ Growth in re-refining technology (base oil recovery)
- ๐ฅ Increasing use in fuel blending for industrial kilns and furnaces
- ๐ฑ Rising environmental incentives to reuse, not discard
- ๐ Decline in virgin base oil affordability
Countries like India, Nigeria, and Colombia are importing more used engine oil than ever โ not to burn waste, but to power industries.
