Today we are celebrating International Earth Day!

The earth is the planet on which we live, it provides us with life in the first place. Let's honor and protect it!

We at AVISTA OIL have been rescuing used oil from improper handling and recycling it for 74 years. As a pioneer in the industry, we have a DEKRA-certified process, which we call AVIeCO2, that has been proven to emit up to 90% less greenhouse gases than the production of base oil from primary refining. Since the introduction of the patented ESR technologies at our Dollbergen site in 2005, more than 82 million tons less crude oil have had to be produced thanks to this concept. So we are doing something good for our planet by conserving natural resources in the long term and ensuring that future generations can enjoy a better climate on our planet.

But sustainability doesn't have to be complicated! Even with small changes in your everyday life, you too can make a big difference to support our planet. Here are a few simple tips to help you do something good for the environment.

Shop locally

Products from the region have shorter transportation routes. This not only protects the environment, but also strengthens the local economy. Good for the climate and usually fresher!

Saving energy in the home

Even in standby mode, most electrical appliances still consume electricity. This is why they should be switched off completely when not in use. Switch socket strips that can be easily switched on and off as required are useful here. And always remember: turn off the lights when you leave the room!

Second-hand and conscious fashion instead of fast Fashion

Buying sustainably produced or second-hand fashion not only saves resources and packaging waste, but also ensures that waste is reduced. This is good for the environment or your wallet or, ideally, both.

Less disposable, more reusable

Go for reusable drinking bottles, coffee cups and shopping bags. Save waste & money

Separate waste correctly

Without waste separation, there is no recycling. If we separate our waste correctly, discarded materials can be recycled and reused. The climate is protected because raw materials are saved and less energy is consumed compared to the production of new materials. Waste containing oil, such as used oil, can also be recycled. Simply bring your waste oil to us in Dollbergen or organize a collection by our nationwide waste oil disposal service at www.avista-oil.de/entsorgung
