Waste oils

Hi, i'm new here. Presently I work on my Bachelor's Thesis.

The Theme is a comparision regarding Lubricants and waste oils and the buyer's opinions about this stuff.
University students have some special characteristics. One of them is scientific nonsyness that has to be satisfied.
People writing in forums like this one have a bit more expertise than average people regarding that.

Reduce the amount of oil used – 300 billion gallons of oil are used each day worldwide. Our reliance on oil for fuel and manufacturing needs to be reduced. Simple solutions are trying to use public transport or a bicycle rather than drive a car. If everyone makes a small contribution, oil usage can be significantly reduced. Less usage means there is less oil transported over the seas, and therefore less risk of spills.

Another good idea would be to figure out some uses for used oil. I've read about used oil being processed and used in the production of certain plastics and other types of lubricants, like the type of grease used for bearings and other moving parts in industrial machinery. If there's a way to do this without creating too much waste or pollution, it's definitely worth looking into reusing engine oil instead of just using fresh crude oil for these purposes if it isn't necessary.

We use waste oil to heat the shop at work in the winter. Most of the oil is given to us so our energy usage is greatly reduced since the gas heaters don't have to run as hard and the only power used for the waste oil heater is to run the blower.
