System optimizing used oils collecting in Italy

Objective

To develop a system optimizing the collection and storage of used oils, increasing the controlled disposal. This aim will also be reached by modernizing and developing monitoring networks in the context of a strengthening of environmental legislation and dissemination knowledge concerning sound management of the environment.

1. Creation of a data base of collection points in the project pilot area, using information available from public data sources such as company listing of the chamber of commerce, the provincial VAT listings, the information from the craftmanship organizations etc.

2. Integration of the above data base with additional data, collected through a marketing survey aimed at the potential collection points, to add information not yet available (such as type and capacity of tanks; etc).

3. Development of statistical procedures to investigate and evaluate the quantity of used oil collected and potentially collectable in each geographic area, and its ratio versus the quantity of fresh oil sold in the same environment.

4. Rationalization of the collection routing plan.

5. Development of a pilot project to automatize the recording of the collection data done by the regional collectors.

6. Evaluation of the chemical composition of the recording of the regional collectors; to allow prompt decisions on the procedures to follow for the recycling or the waste disposal.

7. Development of a pilot service to automatize telephone request for the recycling or the waste disposal.

The project will develop an information sytem based on the connectivity of personal computers installed in the regional collection organizations, via a teleprocessing network to a coordination center, installed in the premises of the COOU in Rome.
