The management of waste oils is one of several key issues in the field of environmental protection. One of the leading problems is how to manage and process hazardous waste, including liquid hazardous waste oils. Due to the increasing amount of this waste, it is reasonable to be concerned about how to manage waste oils without harmful effects on the environment. The obvious problem with waste oil management in Serbia is insufficient laws and regulations in this area, as well as the fact that waste oil has been illegally incinerated, spilled and disposed. The adoption of the Waste Oils Directive and the Law on Waste Management set the legal framework for the management of waste oils, thus opening the possibility for investment and business in this area.
