For restaurants, seemingly small, everyday practices can have a big impact on the environment. In commercial kitchens, proper used cooking oil collection and recycling is one such practice that can contribute to a more sustainable future. Allied Renewal’s commitment to recycling used cooking oil benefits the environment in multiple ways.
USED COOKING OIL RECYCLING SERVICES
Preventing Water Contamination
Pouring used cooking oil down the drain doesn’t just clog pipes; it can also pollute waterways. Even small amounts can create harmful masses of fat, oil, grease, and other debris that disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Proper collection and recycling ensures these fats, oils, and greases never reach and contaminate our water sources.
Reducing Landfill Waste
A large volume of used cooking oil is produced by American restaurants, cafeterias, and food production facilities. Without proper recycling, a significant portion would end up in landfills contributing to unnecessary waste and potential soil contamination. Recycling diverts fats, oils, and greases from landfills, extending their life and reducing our overall waste footprint.
Fueling a Greener Economy
Used cooking oil isn't just waste; it's a valuable resource. Recycling used cooking oil can transform it into biodiesel, a clean-burning, renewable alternative to traditional diesel fuel. This process directly contributes to:
- Fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels, helping to combat climate change
- A decreased dependence on fossil fuels
Protecting Wildlife
Contaminated water and full landfills can have devastating consequences for wildlife. Used cooking oil recycling helps protect the habitats of countless species.
