  5. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS • amended by Directive87/101/EEC and by Directive 2000/76/EC • is designed to create a harmonised system for: • the collection, treatment,storage and disposal of waste oils, such as lubricant oils for vehicles and engines • also aims to protect the environment against the harmful effects of suchoperations • waste oils are hazardous because they are carcinogenic • untreated waste oilsthat are found in rivers, lakes and streams can threaten aquatic life • while soilcontamination results from untreated oils being left on the ground

  6. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS The main provisions of Directive: • definition of waste oils: any mineral-based lubrication or industrial oils which havebecome unfit for the use for which they were originally intended, and in particularused combustion engine oils and gearbox oils, and also mineral lubricating oils, oilsfor turbines and hydraulic oils (Article 1) • definition of regeneration: any process whereby base oils can be produced by refiningwaste oils, in particular by removing the contaminants, oxidation products andadditives contained therein (Article 1)

  7. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS The main provisions of Directive: • definition of disposal includes both recovery and disposal • the obligation to ensure that waste oils are collected and disposed of without causingany avoidable damage to man and the environment (Article 2) • the obligation to give the priority to the regeneration of waste oils upon other disposaloptionwhen economic, organisational or technical limitations so allow(Article 3)

  8. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS The main provisions of Directive: • if the limitations mentioned above prevent the regeneration of waste oils, the next option to consider is their combustion (Article 3) • the prohibition of discharges of waste oils to surface water, groundwater, drainage systems or coastal waters or into the soil, and the prohibition of processing of waste oils that may result in air pollution exceeding prescribed levels (Article 4) • the collection of waste oils must be ensured and controlled; waste oil collectors have to be registered (Article 5)

  9. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS The main provisions of Directive: • undertakings regenerating or incinerating waste oils must have a permit (Article 6) • the establishment of emission limit values for the incineration of waste oils (Article8) • the prohibition to use waste oils containing more than 50 ppm of PCBs(Polychlorinated biphenyl) as fuel (Article 8)

  10. DIRECTIVE 75/439/EEC ON THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE OILS The main provisions of Directive: • record keeping obligation for establishments producing, collecting and disposing of waste oils (Article 11) • obligations of periodical inspections for undertakings regenerating or incinerating waste oils (Article 13) • possibility of granting indemnities (insurances) to a collection or disposal option (Article 14)

  11. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY WASTE LEGISLATION THE PERIOD 2001-2003 (published 2006) • Directive 75/442/EEC on waste • Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste • Directive 75/439/EEC on the disposal of waste oils • Directive 86/278/EEC on sewage sludge • Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste • Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste

  12. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS • Under Directive 91/692/EEC (standardising and rationalising reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment) Member States are required to submit reports, drawn up on the basis of questionnaires. • The report covers the period 2001-2003, i.e. before the accession of the ten new MemberStates to the EU on 1 May 2004. • Thus, for this period the new Member States were invited tosubmit their reports on a voluntary basis. Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, and Slovakiadid so. • Most countries reported also electronically, via EIONET (European Environment Informationand Observation Network).

  13. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS • All Member States have confirmed incorporation the Directive on the disposal of waste oils into their national legislation. • Many stated that they had adopted more stringent measures for environmental protection reasons.

  14. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS The data on waste oils management in EU • In 2003 almost 2 million tonnes of waste oils were collected in EU-15, giving a collection rate of 81%. • Out of this amount, 44% was regenerated (highest regeneration rates recorded in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and Hungary) and 46% was combusted. • Over the period 1995-2003 the total quantity of oil sold decreased by 11% (from 5 million tonnes to 4.4 million tonnes) • While the volume of waste oils generated and collected remained almost stable; the regeneration and combustion rates for waste oils showed no significant variation either.

  15. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS • Several Member States reported no limitation preventing them from giving priority to regeneration of waste oils, in line with Article 3(1). • Other Member States indicated such limitations, however, mainly arising from economic aspects such as the low volume of waste oils produced, the possibility of low-cost combustion in other Member States and saturation of the base oils market. • The majority of the countries reporting had carried out public information and awareness campaigns, as required by Article 5(1).

  16. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS • About half of the countries indicated that waste oils are allocated to any of the types of processing (regeneration and combustion), as provided for in Article 5(3). • The Member States reported that they had in place an authorization system for undertakings which handle waste oils and for undertakings collecting waste oils (Article 5(4)). • Inspections are carried out to check compliance with the conditions laid down in the permits.

  17. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS IN POLAND Requirements of the Directive have been transposed into Polish law by: • Act on waste (2001) • Act - Environmental Protection Law (2001) • Act on obligations of enterprises on some waste management and product charge and deposit charge (2001)

  18. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS IN POLAND Polish legislation Act on waste (2001) Art. 39 • item. 1 Waste oils should be first recovered by regeneration which is understood as any process in which base oils can be produced by refining waste oils and especially by removal of oxidation products and additives contained in these oils. • item. 4 Mixing of waste oils with other hazardous waste is forbidden, and including those containing PCB, during collection and storage. • item. 5 Discharge of waste oils to waters, soil or to the earth is forbidden.

  19. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS IN POLAND • Act on waste (2001) – obligation to work out the waste management plan on national, regional, district (county) and communal (municipal) level • National waste management plan 2010 - Resolution of the Cabinet – 29 of December 2006 • Assessment of waste management plan performance – once per 2 years

  20. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILS IN POLAND • In 2004 – about 84,5 thousand tonnes of waste oils were collected • 50 % were regenerated • 4 recycling organizations which act on behalf of procedures and importers • 3 significant instillations for regeneration of waste oils – 145 thousand tonnes /year

  21. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILSIN POLAND Identification of problems: • lack of developed system for waste oils collection from small and medium enterprises and households • lack of storages for collection of waste oils from maritime accidents

  22. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILSIN POLAND Forecast: • 2010 – 94,2 thousand tonnes • 2014 – 90,4 thousand tonnes • 2018 – 86,8 thousand tonnes • drop in demand for lubricant oils – extending of exploitation time of oils

  23. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILSIN POLAND National goals in waste oils management: • Until 2018 - keep of the regeneration level – 50 % • Installation for regeneration of waste oils are exploited in 50 % • to aim at 100 % exploitation of the installations

  24. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE ON WASTE OILSIN POLAND Directions of future actions to make improvements to waste oils system: • Development of existing collection system as well as from dispersed places • Standardization of devices • Monitoring of waste oils treatment • Supervision of waste oils producers (way of collection, storage, qualification for proper process: recycling, regeneration)

  25. Methods of waste oils disposal in Poland Rafineria Nafty Jedlicze SA Refinery Oil Jedlicze

  26. Methods of waste oils disposal in Poland Refinery Oil Jedlicze • one of the oldest (since 1963) and the biggest oil refineries on the territory of Poland • the company operates in: • waste oil regeneration into prime quality base-stocks (base oils) • production and sales of low-sulphur heating oil • production and sales of organic solvents meets the highest world quality standards

  27. Methods of waste oils disposal in Poland Refinery Oil Jedlicze • Since 2001 the regeneration process has been run on the hydrofinishing plant • The process meets the European Union’s environment protection requirements • The plant produces base stocks (base oils) of quality specifications required for Group I+, and also heating oils of the sulphur content below 0.01 %.

  28. Methods of waste oils disposal in Poland Refinery Oil Jedlicze Three kinds of waste oils: • Waste oils I – electro-insulating oils and oils for refrigerating compressors • Waste oils II – turbine oils • Waste oils III – other lube oils except of emulsifying oils and grease oils

  29. Methods of waste oils disposal in Poland • The recovery facility for oil wastewater and water from washing ship holds (Spółka Wodna Międzyodrze) in Szczecin seaport • This installation meets requirements of law • Company has got the IPPC permit

  30. The Polish Inspection for Environmental Protection Tasks and responsibilities: • Control enterprises and installations - their compliance with the environmental protection regulations • Examination of quality and observation and assessment of condition of the natural environment, as well as changes occurring in environment

  31. Control of waste oils management Inspections of waste oils management: • Companies producing waste oil • Companies recovering waste oil • Inspections included 5 % of companies in Poland • Year 2003 • Country-wide range – 16 regional inspectorates • Set-up: compare results of inspections in 2002

  32. Control of waste oils management Results of inspections - figures • 6,000 companies have got permit to producing of waste oil • 270 companies – permit to collection of waste oil • 50 companies – permit to recovering of waste oil

  33. Control of waste oils management Results of inspections Inspections - 2003 • The level of obeying of environmental law is very different • Some part of installations do not meet requirements of environmental protection law - these installations had to be modernized or closed • General conclusion - waste oil at first should be recycled (by regeneration), but in practice many (small) companies use waste oil to recovery of heat
