Abstract
A study carried out with the aim of overcoming the limitations of of current strategies for used oil management in the country is presented in this thesis. The goal of the study was to develop a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based tool for comparing and evaluating the environmental performance of selected used oil management scenarios in South Africa. The LCA based tool presented a broad based strategy for used oil management which not only compares two different options but which can predict the performance of a recycling option within the context of the entire lube oil manufacturing, use and re-use systems.
