What is “cradle-to-grave” liability and how can it affect the way a clean Burn customer disposes of used oil?
The federal government holds businesses directly and irrevocably responsible for pollution management, clean-up and disposal control of used oils they generate. This responsibility constitutes a “cradle-to-grave” liability, which remains with the generator of the used oils, even if the oils have been collected and transported off-site. Clean Burn heating systems greatly reduce this liability, while providing “free heat” for the facilities in which they are used.
