waste cooking oil

Waste cooking oil is used oil leftover after frying or cooking food, which is no longer suitable for consumption. Instead of being discarded improperly, it can be collected and processed for reuse, such as in biodiesel production or industrial applications. Proper management of waste cooking oil helps prevent environmental pollution, reduces waste, and promotes sustainable energy solutions. However, if dumped improperly, it can cause water and soil contamination, harm wildlife, and clog drainage systems. Recycling and properly disposing of waste cooking oil are essential practices for environmental health and resource conservation.
