High-quality recycled oil, often referred to as used cooking oil (UCO), is a valuable resource collected from a variety of sources, including restaurants, food processing plants, and commercial kitchens. Through a meticulous process, this oil is carefully filtered and processed to remove impurities like food particles and water. This purification ensures that the resulting product meets strict industrial quality standards. By repurposing this waste product, we reduce the demand for virgin oils and help mitigate environmental impact.

The applications for processed UCO are wide-ranging and economically significant. It is a primary feedstock for biodiesel production, offering a sustainable and renewable alternative to fossil fuels. The oleochemical industry also utilizes UCO to create various products, including lubricants and surfactants. Additionally, it can be a key ingredient in the production of soap, where it is combined with a strong base in a process called saponification. This versatility highlights UCO’s importance as a circular economy resource, transforming what was once a waste product into a valuable commodity with diverse industrial uses.
