Course 3 :Used Oil Management

The oil and gas industry plays a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDG). The improper disposal of used oil has the potential to harm the environment. The safe and effective disposal of used oils can protect both human health and the environment. The "Used Oil Management" course is developed as part of the Committing to Sustainable Waste Actions in the Pacific (SWAP) Project, which is funded through Agence Française de Développement (AFD). SWAP offers this training course to Pacific residents with an interest in used oil management. The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of used oil issues and the need for its management in order to meet the SDGs. Over the course of four weeks, you will learn about used oil spills and their environmental consequences. You will also learn about oil spill monitoring and treatment options, such as reuse and recycling of used oil. The components of the National Management Plan for used oil management will also be discussed, which will assist you in designing and implementing a sustainable management plan in the Pacific context using tools to guide the process.
