Construction field oil

What Construction field oil does

Baufeld-Oel GmbH, operating commercially as PURAGLOBE Oil Collection & Services (and previously known as Baufeld / Nagel-entsorgung), is a Munich-headquartered waste oil collection and recycling company founded in 1976 and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PURAGLOBE Group. The company collects used motor oils, gear oils, hydraulic and transformer oils, heating oils, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, emulsions, oil/water mixtures, coolants, brake fluids, cleaning agents, oil sludge, and oil-contaminated operational waste from automotive, industrial, maritime, energy, chemical, transport, rail, construction, and lubricant-industry customers. Operations run from seven main German hubs with service reach into Europe, the United States, and additional global markets through the 'Anywhere' collection concept and a decades-old 'Anytime' international purchasing network; the Netherlands is supported through sister entity Koeweitoliehandel.

The company's technical stack centers on a digitized waste-oil workflow. The Öl-Scanner is a hardware oil-level sensor that monitors fill levels and triggers automated collection. The Service-Portal at myportal.baufeld.de provides 24/7 customer account management, order tracking, and process modification, while the eANVportal integration — provided via partner Axians eWaste GmbH — handles electronic waste documentation and ZKS registration for German and EU regulatory compliance. Logistics are executed by the company's own fleet and partner Nagel's multi-chamber vehicles (Nagel has been a certified Entsorgungsfachbetrieb since 1985), enabling sorted collection of multiple waste streams in a single pickup. Named enterprise customers include Renault, Logex, and C4C.

The business model is service-based: customers pay collection and treatment fees for waste oil and industrial waste removal on a quote basis. A second revenue stream is long-term feedstock supply to PURAGLOBE Group's own refineries, which convert collected used oils into re-refined base oils, motor oils, and EV fluids, completing a closed-loop oil cycle. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; go-to-market combines direct field sales for enterprise accounts with a self-service digital portal for mid-market and smaller customers. The company is private, with no funding rounds disclosed, and operates as part of a strategic parent group rather than a venture-backed entity.
