Circular economy education
A circular economy is about making the most of our resources instead of letting them go to waste. Through this programme, we help people understand how used oil can be collected, recycled, and brought back into use responsibly.

The Story of Used Oil Only a Few People Talk About
Used oil is part of our everyday life, but very few people think about what happens to it after it is collected. There’s an awareness gap - not just around responsible collection and recycling, but also around the people who handle used oil at the grassroots level. Their safety, health and well-being matter too. RUOMF Foundation was created to help bridge that gap by bringing together people, businesses, collectors, recyclers and communities for a safer and more responsible used-oil system. Because responsible used oil management should protect both the environment and the people behind the work. #UsedOilRecycling #ResponsibleRecycling #EnvironmentalAwareness #CollectorSafety
