In parallel, <strong>the Euro 7 proposal introduces stricter limits not only for combustion engines<\/strong> but also for braking systems, tires, and wear components, aiming to ensure low emissions throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fuelsandlubes.com\/fli-article\/euro-7-impacts-on-engines-fuels-and-lubricants\/\">entire vehicle lifecycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These directives are pushing the lubricants supply chain to rethink processes, formulations, and strategies to offer solutions that are both high-performing and sustainable.<\/p>\n<h3>Compliance and Innovation: The Industry&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>To remain competitive and compliant with new regulations, companies are adopting an increasingly proactive and integrated approach. Some of the most common directions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low-viscosity lubricants<\/strong>, capable of reducing friction in mechanical systems and optimizing energy consumption. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/atiel.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DOC-20.pdf\">ATIEL<\/a>, this solution directly contributes to CO\u2082 emissions reduction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of regenerated and bio-based base oils<\/strong>, derived from renewable sources or circular processes. As highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shell.com\/business-customers\/lubricants-for-business\/news-and-media-releases\/2021\/carbon-neutral-lubricants-the-next-step-in-our-journey-towards-net-zero.html\">Shell<\/a>, this choice enables a concrete reduction in environmental impact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimized oil change intervals<\/strong>, made possible by more stable formulations and advanced monitoring systems. Reducing replacement frequency means cutting down on consumption, costs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluitec.com\/exploring-the-shift-towards-lubricant-decarbonization\/\">carbon footprint<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additional initiatives involve the <strong>digitalization of production processes,<\/strong> which allow for real-time data collection and optimization at every stage of the product lifecycle, making it easier to comply with regulatory and environmental standards.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies are also investing in <strong>voluntary environmental certifications<\/strong>, such as the EcoVadis system or ISO 14064, which provide a structured framework to monitor and communicate emissions impact. These tools are becoming competitive assets for industrial lubricant suppliers, especially in international markets where sustainability is a key priority.<\/p>\n<h3>Lubricants as a Lever for Decarbonization<\/h3>\n<p>Lubricants are playing an increasingly significant role in the transition to a low-emission economy. Some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improved energy efficiency<\/strong>: high-performance lubricants help reduce energy consumption and thus direct emissions. A study by Lubrizol confirms that lower friction results in an immediate drop in emissions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extended component lifespan:<\/strong> proper lubrication protects machinery, limits wear and tear, and reduces the need for frequent replacements, as indicated by Petro Online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application in renewable energy systems:<\/strong> wind turbines and solar plants require specialized lubricants to ensure long-term efficiency and durability. According to Precision Lubrication, this niche is rapidly growing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support for circular economy models<\/strong>: regenerated lubricants, when properly processed, can be reused without compromising quality, helping to reduce reliance on fossil-based raw materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Iglom&#8217;s Approach<\/h3>\n<p>In a constantly evolving landscape, Iglom closely monitors regulatory and technological developments in the sector. While operating according to the Client\u2019s specifications, the company actively contributes to process quality and sustainability through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strict quality control,<\/strong> to ensure compliance with required parameters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuous updates of internal processes<\/strong>, to maintain high standards of safety, efficiency, and traceability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaboration with industrial partners<\/strong>, to help build a cleaner, more reliable, and future-oriented supply chain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ongoing regulatory monitoring<\/strong>, to support responsible management and readiness to adapt to change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A More Regulated and Sustainable Context In recent years, the growing focus on sustainability has led to the adoption of increasingly stringent CO\u2082 emissions regulations, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1705,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
