Product Description

Proper disposal of used cooking oil is an important waste-management concern. Oil is lighter than water and tends to spread into thin and broad membranes which hinder the oxygenation of water. Because of this, a single litre of oil can contaminate as much as 1 million litres of water. Also, oil can congeal on pipes provoking blockages.

Because of this, cooking oil should never be dumped in the kitchen sink or in the toilet bowl. The proper way to dispose of oil is to put it in a sealed non-recyclable container and discard it with

regular garbage. Placing the container of oil in the refrigerator to harden also makes disposal easier and less messy.

Cooking oil can be recycled. It can be used to produce soap and biodiesel.

 Cooking oil recovered from a waste water plumbing component called a grease trap is called brown grease in the industry. Brown grease is contaminated with rotted food solids and considered unsuitable for re-use in most applications. However there are new technologies to handle brown grease.

Yellow grease, also known in industry as recycled vegetable oil (RVO), also termed used vegetable oil (UVO), waste vegetable oil (WVO), used cooking oil, is recovered from businesses and industry that use the cooking oil,  typically collected used oil from deep fryers.

Yellow grease is used to feed livestock, and to make soap, make-up, clothes, rubber, detergents, and biodiesel fuel
