At a glance
- Challenge
- Used engine oil from a dealership workshop is hazardous waste, yet selling it for cash with no weighment and no recycler papers is still common.
- Approach
- Globe Toyota (JCBL Group) routes used engine oil from its service network through BioTradX: dedicated tanks, licensed recyclers, a digital handover and monthly litres tracked as a KPI.
- Outcome
- Used engine oil is collected and handed to authorised recyclers with a documented handover instead of informal disposal. The partnership was reported by ET Auto, I Am Renew and the JCBL Group press release.

What changed at the workshop
Authorised Toyota service operations generate spent engine oil on every oil change. The partnership routes that oil through BioTradX instead of an unnamed tanker. Responsible Us described it as used engine oil recycling. Bio Energy Times placed it in responsible waste and resource management.
Why dealerships were covered so widely
Auto retail is a visible circular-economy story: branded workshops, hazardous waste, and a named technology partner. That is why Manufacturing Today, OEM Update, The Machine Maker, Industry Samachar, and The Manufacturing Frontier all ran manufacturing-angle versions, and CSR Universe and Magic Wand Media ran the CSR angle. Press Network of India syndicated the news brief.
What other dealer groups can copy
Dedicated oil tanks, licensed recyclers, digital handover, monthly litres as a KPI. BioTradX is the matching and record layer. Collection still happens at the pit.
