Used oil collection in UAE is more than just a regulatory requirement, it is a critical process that keeps industries safe, compliant, and sustainable. From heavy manufacturing to logistics fleets, every industrial operation produces waste lubricants that must be handled responsibly. At Safeenat Al Sharq, we have been managing this responsibility for over 20 years, providing end-to-end solutions for oil collection, recycling, and industrial fuel supply across the UAE.

Why Used Oil Collection Matters for Industries in UAE

Industries like steel, cement, aluminum, shipping, and power generation consume large volumes of lubricants daily. As equipment runs, lubricants degrade and become contaminated with metal particles, water, and other impurities. This “used oil” is hazardous if not properly collected.

Improper disposal of waste oil can:

  • Contaminate soil and groundwater.

  • Release toxic fumes if burned unsafely.

  • Damage machinery when reused without treatment.

  • Lead to fines and regulatory penalties.

In a country like the UAE, where industries are growing rapidly, safe oil collection and recycling is both an environmental duty and a business necessity.

Environmental and Legal Compliance in UAE

The UAE has introduced strict guidelines under environmental and petroleum laws to control the handling of hazardous waste. Industrial companies are required to partner only with licensed collectors for used lubricants.

Safeenat Al Sharq is a licensed and recognized company in Sharjah Industrial Area, fully compliant with UAE environmental standards. With every collection, we provide clients with documentation and certificates to prove proper disposal and recycling. This not only helps industries remain legally compliant but also builds trust with stakeholders and international partners.
