Reprocessing is the most common method of recycling used oil in the United States. Used oil is reprocessed
and marketed to some of the businesses below:
- Asphalt Plants
- Industrial boilers (factories)
- Utility boilers (electric power plants for schools, homes, etc)
- Steel mills
- Pulp and paper mills
Lead-acid batteries top the list of the most highly recycled consumer product. That’s right, 95% of all lead-acid batteries are recovered and recycled in the United States, with aluminum cans being 55%, newspapers 45% and glass and bottles being 26%.
Used antifreeze can be recycled for use by the mining industry, which sprays it on coal to keep it from sticking together and the glycol industry, which uses it as an airplane deicing solution. It is also used in cement grinding and brake fluid.
