In 2020, RDC Environment conducted a comprehensive European benchmark study on behalf of ADEME. This study focused on exploring and evaluating the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes designed to manage the collection and processing of waste oils across various European countries (EPR schemes for lubricants).<\/em><\/p>\n

In France, up until 2015, the collection of used oil was offered free of charge to holders. However, in 2016, a significant drop in the prices of used oil led the government to allow, on a temporary basis, the charging of fees for the collection and processing of used oil in mainland France. To conclude this transitional phase, AGEC Act of February 10, 2020<\/a>, mandated the establishment of an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for lubricants starting January 1, 2022<\/strong>. This new system is expected to ensure the coverage of collection costs, extending its benefits to Overseas France as well.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Objectives of the study<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this context,\u00a0ADEME<\/a> (the French agency for ecological transition) has commissioned RDC Environment to carry out a European assessment of the EPR schemes for lubricants: set up to manage the collection and processing of used oils.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this study was to\u00a0anticipate the implementation of the EPR lubricants sector in France<\/strong>, and more specifically to :<\/p>\n
