Over time, industrial oils lose their qualities in the mechanical and high-temperature processes to which they have been subjected during mining or industrial operations, thus becoming hazardous waste.

Faced with this threat, it is important to take into account that used industrial oils must be managed properly, since their uncontrolled discharge poses a high risk to the environment, because their components are not easily biodegradable and prevent the normal development of the biological and chemical activity of the soil, being able to alter its fertility and vegetation.
