In the year to September 2023, one Australian city used 6,790 litres of waste engine oil to build roads; it became a coating for stone used in road seals
In the year leading up to September 2023, the City of Greater Geelong transformed thousands of litres of used motor oil into durable public infrastructure. By spraying 6,790 litres of recycled engine oil as an aggregate precoat during routine road resurfacing, municipal crews allowed bitumen to adhere securely to crushed stone. Combined with millions of recycled glass bottles and discarded truck tires, Geelong turned hazardous waste into durable street surfaces.
