Disposing cooking oil?
Used Cooking oil collection and recycling
Used cooking oil (UCO) is a common byproduct of households, restaurants, and food industries, often discarded improperly, leading to clogged drains, water pollution, and environmental harm. However, with effective collection and recycling systems, UCO can be transformed into valuable resources, contributing to a circular economy and sustainable development.

In Nigeria, improper disposal of used cooking oil is a growing concern. When poured down drains, it solidifies and blocks sewage systems, while improper disposal in landfills contaminates soil and water. Additionally, burning UCO releases harmful emissions, exacerbating air pollution.
Benefits
Used cooking oil can be recycled into biodiesel, a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, or repurposed for soap production and other industrial uses. By establishing structured UCO collection and recycling programs, Nigeria can address environmental issues while creating economic opportunities.
