Give used oil products new life

Knowing what happens to materials after you recycle them helps you understand why recycling is important. There are many products that can be made from used oil materials.

Refining used oil can completely restore it's lubricating properties so that it can be used again as oil in your car again.
Recycled oil is also used extensively in the production of asphalt for roads and highways. It can also be burned for energy.
Oil filters are shredded, heated to a molten state and the metals re-used as material for other metal products such as rebar, nails and wire.
Empty plastic oil bottles can be recycled into new containers, railway ties, plastic flowerpots, plastic pipe, guardrails, fence posts, and clothing
