2024 ANNUAL REPORT

between France and its neighbours

for output products

W

hile the producer responsibility organisation

advocates for intra-territorial circularity, the

regeneration market is no less European.

The percentage of oils regenerated outside of France

is increasing, rising from 23% to 25% for a total of

48,000 tonnes. A trend that can be explained by more

attractive buyback prices, purely geographical and

logistical considerations, but also by the quality of the

products obtained at the end of the treatment process.

At the same time, new regeneration operators are

registering with CYCLEVIA, attracted by the oil sources

and momentum of the market.

I

n 2024 regeneration and recycling operators must

comply with new data formats which will be sent to the

producer responsibility organisation and the ADEME

Acomprehensive breakdown must now be implemented

for all products resulting from treatment processes

such as base oils and their properties but also fuels

and bitumen The goal is to improve traceability and

circularity in the industry These declarations will have

to be made in 2025 for 2024 volumes

Three trends

are emerging

in the regeneration

market: a reduction

in combustion in favour

of regeneration, the

modernisation of refineries

to produce base oils

of equivalent quality to new

ones, and the growing role

of regenerated base oils.

For the European lubricants

industry this closedloop

model ought

to establish itself

as a local

and sustainable

solution
