00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Ibáñez Porras, Jesús author Martel Martín, Sonia author Baldino, Salvatore author Prandi, Cristina author Mannu, Alberto author 2020-07 The employment of used vegetable oils (UVOs) as raw materials in key sectors as energy production or bio-lubricant synthesis represents one of the most relevant priorities in the European Union (EU) normative context. In many countries, the development of new production processes based on the circular economy model, as well as the definition of future energy and production targets, involve the utilization of wastes as raw material. In this context, the main currently applied EU regulations are presented and discussed. As in the EU, the general legislative process consists of the definition in each State Member of specific legislation, which transposes the EU indications. Two relevant countries are herein considered: Italy and Spain. Through the analysis of the conditions required in both countries for UVOs’ collection, disposal, storage, and recycling, a wide panorama of the current situation is provided. http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5372 10.3390/pr8070798 2227-9717 used vegetable oil recycling biodiesel bio-lubricant legislation European Union legislation overview about used vegetable oils recycling: the spanish and italian case studies
