Spanish term or phrase: Impuesto de Gestión de Aceites Usados / Imp. Gestión Aceites.
Is there a specific set name for this tax in UK or US English?

"El SIGAUS o Sistema Integrado De Gestión De Aceites Usados es un impuesto que se establecio en el año 2007, por el cuál el Gobierno añade un impuesto a los residuos que originan la actividad del lubricante.

El impuesto es de alrededor de un 0,06 € por kilogramo de lubricante, que se supone??- esto podría derivar en otra discusión- los costes del reciclado del lubricante por empresas autorizadas. Este impuesto se aplica a la mayoria de fabricantes de lubricantes del país aprox. 80-90% del consumo nacional. Estos se reunieron para dar solución a esto naciendo el SIGAUS. Organismo encargado de gestionar toda la gestión del reciclado del aceite usado.2

Reference information:
I'm not sure if this is particularly helpful but if you want to read it, the information is on page 44.

Economics
As a non-profit organization, SIGAUS uses 100% of its revenues for the recovery and recycling of used oil, financing all life-cycle used oil operations and implemented by contracted companies. As stated in the law, this financing comes from lubricant makers participating in SIGAUS (and materialized by a 0.06-euro-per-kilo tax on lubricants sold in the Spanish market). Through this system, lubricant makers and importers fulfil their obligations for the management of lubricants once they become used oil.

Yes, after I posted this reference, I realised that you know what it is but I've decided to leave it here anyway.

Asker: Hi Helena, I know what it is. But I don't know what the equivalent taxes or levies will be called in English, if they exist.

Directive 75/439/EEC on the disposal of waste oils1
, amended by Directive 87/101/EEC is
designed to create a harmonised system for the collection, treatment, storage and disposal
of waste oils, such as lubricant oils for vehicles and engines. The Directive also aims to
protect the environment against the harmful effects of such operations. Waste oils are
hazardous because they are carcinogenic. Untreated waste oils that are found in rivers,
lakes and streams can threaten aquatic life, while soil contamination results from untreated
oils being left on the ground.
