"why cant they reuse this oil after it has been cleaned in other areas of manufactureing."
Don:
Many companies west of the Mississippi do use reclaimed oil. We have a good sized company here in Wichita that takes in used oil by the semi load daily. It goes thru a cleaning process and is placed in storage tanks dependent on it's base ingredients. When an order for oil comes in, they blend in additives per specs for whatever product they are making, put in 55 gal drums, and send it off to the customer. The company I work for has been using reclaimed oil with no issues and we buy it by the semi load every month. The reclaimed oil company even accepts dump trucks of oil filters that are shredded and compressed. This oil is also eventually processed.
