What we do for you
Membership in Eco Oil Resource allows you to fulfil your waste oil obligations through a collective system
We organize the required activities and assist with reporting
Collection and recovery
We organize the collection of waste oils and their handover to entities holding the required permits or registration documents under the Waste Management Act
Applicable documentation for origin, quantity, transport, and handover is maintained for every activity
Regeneration and resource reuse
A portion of waste oils is directed to R9 — re-refining of oils or other reuse of oils
Through regeneration, waste oil is processed into a resource that can be utilized again in the manufacture of lubricant products
Reporting
We assist with processing data on the quantities of oils placed on the market and with the required reporting under applicable regulations
Members submit their current data through Portal 2.0
Waste Management Act consulting
We help manufacturers and importers determine:
- whether they have obligations for the respective oils;
- which quantities must be declared;
- what documentation is required;
- what deadlines apply;
- how regulatory changes affect their operations
The product fee for oils, and what membership changes
Who owes the fee, who meets the obligation collectively, and where the organization fits
Manufacturers and importers placing lubricating oils on the Bulgarian market are responsible under the Waste Management Act for the separate collection and recovery of waste oils
The obligation can be met in two ways — individually, after obtaining a permit under Art. 81(1) of the Waste Management Act, or collectively, through a recovery organization
A product fee under Art. 59(1) of the Waste Management Act is due where the obligation is not met — both where the target is missed and where a member has not paid the agreed remuneration or has not reported the quantities placed on the market (Art. 59(1), points 4 and 5)
Members of a recovery organization meet their obligations through it
Each year the Minister of Environment and Water issues an order listing the persons that are members of recovery organizations and are therefore not liable to pay the product fee for oils
For the members of this organization these are Order No. РД-11 of 8 January 2024 for 2022, Order No. РД-266-1 of 2 May 2025 for 2023 and Order No. РД-645 of 15 September 2025 for 2024
Under Art. 63 of the Ordinance the order is issued by 15 May of the current year
The remuneration a member pays for participation in the collective system is a contractual price, not the public-law product fee payable to EMEPA (ПУДООС), the Enterprise for Management of Environmental Protection Activities
The exact terms are set out in the General Terms and Conditions and in the membership agreement
