Petronas & Tata Motors Unite for Circular Economy
9 Sep
Summary
- Pilot project for lubricant recycling launched in India.
- Collaboration supports circular economy and EPR framework.
- Focus on creating a traceable hazardous waste system.
A new pilot project for recycling used automotive lubricants has been launched through an initial pact between Petronas Lubricants India and Tata Motors. This collaboration aims to create a structured and scalable model for lubricant circularity.
The initiative will establish an organized and traceable system for collecting, storing, and recycling hazardous waste lubricants. The goal is to convert used oil into high-quality re-refined base oil, supporting India's circular economy ambitions and its evolving Extended Producer Responsibility framework.
Petronas will manage the aggregation and movement of used lubricants through specialized collection points, directing them to registered recyclers. Tata Motors will utilize its service network to facilitate structured collection and promote responsible disposal within its ecosystem.
This pilot seeks to strengthen benchmarks for responsible waste management across India. By improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental risks, it supports the nation's transition towards a more circular and resource-efficient economy.
