About Us

R.O.S.E stands for Recovering Oil Saves the Environment. It is New Zealand’s long-standing, industry-backed scheme for the safe collection, transport and recovery of used lubricating oil.

R.O.S.E manages and contracts the collection of used oil so it can be recovered and reused as an alternative fuel source to diesel, light fuel oil and gas. Used oil collected through the R.O.S.E scheme is recovered for use in New Zealand by local industry. The scheme supports responsible recovery and helps reduce the risk of illegal discharges to the environment.

Delivered nationwide by Salter’s Cartage and alliance partner Fulton Hogan, R.O.S.E gives customers access to trained operators, national infrastructure, established safety systems and reliable service across New Zealand.
