A SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMThe Société de gestion des huiles usagées (SOGHU) is a non-profitorganization created to meet the standards set by the Regulation respectingthe recovery and reclamation of used oils, used oil containers or fluid andused filters. SOGHU is recognized by RECYC-QUÉBEC as an organizationcapable of managing an integrated system of recovery and reclamation ofall products applicable to the Regulation and of educating the users.
SOGHU’s vision is simple; to implement and manage a recovery andreclamation program for all products applicable to the Regulation, that isefficient, self sufficient, environmentally conscious, economical, as well asbeneficial for our society; in short, a model of excellence, from theperspective of sustainable development.
The success of the program rests on its win-win partnerships, thanks to asystem of financial incentives offered to Collectors, according to product andgeographical recovery zone, as well as to Processors of plastic who shredand decontaminate and ensure that the material is reused in themanufacturing of new products.
Some key points of the program:
• Generators are the first step of the recovery process.
• Collectors recover applicable products from the Generators.
• Processors give new life to the products.
• Collection Facilities are the corner stone, offering free disposal servicesfor all citizens.
• RECYC-QUÉBEC assists SOGHU in ensuring that the operations are incompliance with the Agreement.
• Members finance and manage the system via SOGHU.
See page 10 for the table illustrating the standard flow cycle of funds andproducts.
The basic principle at the core of the program is a principle of sustainabledevelopment that respects the balance between commercial requirementsand the needs of the community.
A strict auditing process ensures the tracking of all products sold on themarket right up until their reclamation.
For the second year of operation, a publicity and information campaign wasput in place, directed to Do It Yourself or DIY people, in other words, thosewho do their own oil disposal and are generally not serviced by Collectorsdue to insufficient quantities generated. The goal of the campaign was toeducate this market of the importance of collecting and the option ofdisposing the applicable products free of charge at certain municipalitiesand garages who take environmental issue to heart. Chiefly, this marketincludes the general public, small contractors with heavy machinery, farmersand forestry workers.
Several articles and publications in a variety of special interest magazines(transportation, mechanics, agriculture, Municipal, construction, forestry,etc.), television campaigns on Réseau des Sports (RDS) and Météo Media,the distribution of the SOGHU DVD presentation, presentations atconferences to key players in the automotive sector (AIA), as well as aninformation seminar given to the municipalities with RECYC-QUÉBEC, weresome of the principle methods that SOGHU employed to promote the program.
With RECYC-QUÉBEC’s financial contribution of $51 776, SOGHU’s budgetfor all of the different informational and awareness campaigns amounted to$320 000.
SOGHU’s achievements in 2005 were already impressive but it wasimperative that SOGHU improve, especially in the realm of plastics, and wesucceeded.
We are happy to present the following table outlining our achievements in2006 and our plan for 2007-08-09.

THE SECOND SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR SOGHULa Société de gestion des huiles usagées (SOGHU) has been operationalsince January 2005. It is comprised of numerous partners, including 207Members (who put oil products on the market), 27 Collectors, 63 Processors,and 7 Internal Collector/Processors who collect and process their own oil.Allof these activities are performed in conformity with the applicableregulations. All products are 100% processed.
Did you know that at the start up of the SOGHU program more than 30million litres of oil disappeared in Québec every year? That is theequivalent of 3 tanker trucks a day. The recovery rate was estimated at60%. We surpassed 84.1% in 2005 to reach 89% in 2006. When weknow that 1 litre of oil can contaminate 1 million litres of water, it’s nowonder that our leitmotiv is: “Make Every Drop Count!”
Did you know that every day 20,000 filters, the equivalent of a full 20cubic yard container, were not collected? The collection rate was only at20%. We surpassed 73% in 2005 to reach 74% in 2006.
Did you know that a volume of roughly 40 million litres of used oilcontainers a year, enough to fill 2 football fields a day, were notcollected? Practically none were collected prior to the creation of theprogram. In 2005, we reached a 25% recovery rate and in 2006 we’vemore than doubled it, reaching 55%.
To achieve these results, Collectors serviced over 15,000 clients, more than386 of which registered as Collection Facilities in 2005, offering thegeneral public free disposal services for all applicable products. In 2006,that number has climbed to 486 and will continue to increase. SOGHUbelieves that the closer the service is to the people, the easier it is to use.We thank all of the companies and municipalities who takeenvironmental issues to heart and we ask the general public to respecttheir operating hours and conditions.
Furthermore, ever conscious of the importance of communication andinformation, SOGHU invested time and money in numerous media venturesto target all interested parties, including: magazines to forestry workers,farmers, industries, municipalities, transporters and individuals, as well astelevision ad campaigns airing on Réseau des sports (RDS) and MétéoMédia, also with the distribution of the SOGHU DVD presentation, multipleconferences and participation in trade fairs and conventions.
We are extremely proud of our second year of operation, and the resultsspeak, in part, to the efforts of SOGHU, its Members and in particular, theBoard of Directors for facing the objectives set out by the government headon, and also in part to the extraordinary partnership between SOGHU, itsCollectors, Processors and Generators, and all with the cooperation ofRECYC-QUÉBEC.
In closing, the program is a prime example of sustainable development,balancing commercial requirements with the needs of the people.
Make every drop count…
