About us
What is Lubricant Recycling International?
We bring together industry leaders, recyclers, regulators, Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), policymakers, and service providers to strengthen systems, share expertise, and accelerate infrastructure development across regions.
Our focus is practical and collaborative.
As environmental expectations rise and regulatory frameworks evolve, lubricant producers and waste management partners face increasing complexity. LRI exists to create clarity by facilitating dialogue, promoting proven models, and supporting the development of scalable, measurable recycling systems that protect both environmental and economic value.
Our Mission
To advance sustainable lubricant recycling worldwide through collaboration, knowledge exchange, and infrastructure development.
Our Approach
We believe durable systems are built through partnership. Lubricant recycling requires coordination across producers, collectors, processors, regulators, and communities.
LRI provides a neutral platform where these stakeholders can engage openly, align priorities, and move from policy conversation to implementation.
Why It Matters
Improper disposal of used oil, hazardous waste and related packaging poses environmental and public health risks. At the same time, valuable materials can be recovered, refined, and reintroduced into the market when effective systems are in place.
By strengthening global dialogue and sharing operational insight, LRI helps reduce waste, prevent contamination, and support circular economy principles within the lubricant sector.
International Lubricant Recycling Summit
The annual event brings together industry leaders, regulators, recyclers, producers, and service providers focused on used oil, packaging, and hazardous waste management.
If you work in lubricant manufacturing, environmental compliance, waste management, recycling infrastructure, or policy development—this Summit is built for you.
What We Do:
LRI is committed to expanding international engagement and supporting regions at various stages of program development—from early policy design to mature stewardship systems.
Through ongoing collaboration and annual convenings, we aim to elevate best practices and build stronger lubricant recycling infrastructure worldwide.
