with recycled oil
.A.S.A. uses a secondary raw
material for racing sports
.A.S.A. Abfall Service AG, the largest was-
te management company in Central and
Eastern Europe, with headquarters in Him-
berg near Vienna, and Puralube, the Ger-
man market leader in used oil recycling,
are strengthening their cooperation. Used
oil from Austria is limbered up by .A.S.A.
in the Puralube refinery near Leipzig, to be
further used under the highest quality requi-
rements, as it is the case in motor sports.
During such races as ADAC GT Masters
which took place in August at Red Bull Ring
in Spielberg “secondary raw material in their
engine” awards the racing team “wings”.
Encourage the use of high-quality
recycled oil
.A.S.A. and Puralube intend to increasingly
focus on the developments in the automo-
tive industry and to push the use of high-
quality recycled oils. The companies plan
to become the market leader in material
recycling of used oil in Central and Eastern
Europe.
Crude oil is running short; thanks to inno-
vative technologies, used oil can be distilled
today into the highest quality base oil and
used in the production of lubricants for mo-

dern, efficient combustion engines. At the
same time, the energy consumption is only
half of that needed for the production of lu-
bricants from crude oil.
Up to 0.7 litres of “new” base oil can be pro-
duced from 1 litre of used oil and is being
used for engine, transmission and hydraulic
oils. The quality is often better than that of
base oils derived from crude oil.
Around 3 million tons of used oil is collected
In the European Union each year; however,
more than half of the collected amount is in-
cinerated instead of being recycled. In Aus-
tria, more than 40,000 tons of used oil is
collected annually, of which .A.S.A. recycles
11,000 tons.
