Used cooking oil is not just waste.
It is also a valuable raw material that can be processed into:
- Cleaning products
- Industrial lubricants
- Additives for animal feed
- Renewable biofuels
Ten Reasons Why You Should Collect Used Cooking Oil Instead of Pouring It down the drain
- You help protect the environment and drinking water resources.
- You prevent the unnecessary creation of waste that must otherwise be treated and disposed of.
- You avoid clogging your household pipes with grease deposits.
- You help reduce sewer blockages and the presence of rodents.
- Used cooking oil poured into the sewage system seriously disrupts processes at wastewater treatment plants.
- Oil disposed of in soil damages soil microorganisms and reduces the soil's permeability.
- Just one drop of used cooking oil can contaminate thousands of litres of water.
- By recycling used cooking oil, you help prevent CO₂ emissions. The collected oil can be converted into biodiesel (so-called ‘green diesel’) without the need to produce new raw materials.
- By supporting biodiesel production, you help reduce environmental pollution associated with crude oil extraction.
- The presence of cooking oil in biodegradable kitchen waste significantly complicates the composting of food scraps.
We give your used cooking oil a second life
We recycle your used cooking oil in an environmentally responsible way by turning it into renewable biodiesel. Compared to conventional fossil fuels, biodiesel can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, giving your waste oil a valuable second life while helping protect the environment.
