Programs and Services castrol.com/GPS 800 255 4417 May 2025 GPS Castrol ® MoreCircular Sustainability Lower carbon footprint lubricants 1 for your business Currently, only about 20% 2 of used oil generated in the US is re-refined to base oils. Castrol MoreCircular is a program designed to reduce the carbon footprint of lubricants 1 by creating a more circular economy. It includes the collection of used oil as well as the supply of lower carbon footprint lubricants 1 . Castrol MoreCircular lubricants offer the same high quality and performance as their traditional versions with an estimated 20-40% lower 3 carbon footprint. ey are produced to specification and meet or exceed the latest OEM and industry standards so that you do not have to choose between premium quality and sustainability. • e-end-to-end offer begins with used oil collection from customers such as fleet maintenance shops or industrial sites by our partner Safety-Kleen. • e used oil is then re-refined to remove impurities and to recover the base oil 4 . • With our cutting-edge technology, re-refined base oil like this is blended with tailored additive technology to engineer MoreCircular lubricants. When participating customers purchase these lubricants, they help develop a more circular lubricants industry in the United States. 1 ese lubricants achieve a lower carbon footprint by using re-refined base oils in place of some or all of the virgin base oils traditionally present in Castrol lubricants, resulting in lower cradle to gate production emissions. 2 Kline Global Used Oil and Re-refined Lubricants: Market Analysis and Opportunities, February 2024; base year: 2022 and 2023 3 Cradle-to-gate lifecycle carbon intensities, including the estimated 20-40% reduction referred to above, have been estimated and assessed by independent carbon footprinting consultancy Environmental Resources Management (ERM). ERM has confirmed that all estimates and assessments conducted by ERM are carried out in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol 4 Test based on field testing of Castrol Vecton Long Drain 10W-30. Tested under real life conditions Successful customer trials demonstrate that our lower carbon footprint lubricants 1 offer the same high performance as the versions containing virgin base oil. For our Castrol VECTON heavy duty engine oils, we ran over 37,0005 hours of successful field tests. ese included a long drain fleet trial with refuse collection trucks doing 900-1200 stops per day. e result: aer 1200h of testing the MoreCircular VECTON oil proved excellent wear control and oxidation stability 4.. .
