Interchange 360 makes it easy to recycle
the right materials, the right way.
Lubricants and petroleum-related materials and packaging require a different kind of recycling system.
Working with producers, recyclers, and communities, Interchange 360 supports programs that safely collect and recycle petroleum-related materials across the United States.
“Why can’t empty automotive containers go in curbside recycling?”
Most curbside recycling systems aren’t designed to process containers that previously held petroleum products. Dedicated recycling programs help ensure these materials are collected, handled, and recycled safely and responsibly.

Building Practical Recycling Solutions
Interchange 360 provides cost-effective, transparent, and sustainable solutions for managing petroleum and petroleum related products and packaging—including materials like motor oil, antifreeze, diesel exhaust fluid, and the containers they come in.
These materials require specialized collection and processing. Through partnerships with producers, service providers, and regulators, we help ensure these materials are safely collected and responsibly managed and accessible to residents through safe and convenient recycling options.
Our program supports a more reliable recycling system that benefits communities and the environment while helping producers to meet new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements.
How the Program Works
1. Producer Participation
Companies that make or sell petroleum and automotive products join Interchange 360 to meet EPR requirements.
2. Collection Network
We work with return collection facilities and service providers to accept empty containers safely.
3. Recycling and Processing
Collected materials are transported and processed so they can be reused or responsibly managed.
4. Environmental Results
These programs help keep petroleum packaging out of landfills and support stronger recycling infrastructure.
