Used cooking oil is likened to “liquid gold” in France

The French island of Oleron is famous for its fresh seafood, but in addition to the seafood season, this place also has another season of great interest and is happily called the season of used cooking oil.

Summer is the time when restaurants often serve fried and fried foods for outdoor fun, so the amount of used cooking oil is discharged a lot. A waste treatment facility regularly collects this cooking oil, then filters it and sells it back to companies that recycle it into biofuels or cleaning products.

Mr. Patrick Rosset – Waste Service Manager Roule ma Frite 17 said: “We have collected about 100-110 tons of used cooking oil from restaurants or nursing homes, cantins, schools. “.

For restaurant owners, this also helps to reduce their burden. Boris Rabillon – Restaurant owner in France said: “In the past we didn’t know what to do with used cooking oil, if it were to be dumped at a waste collection site, it would cost me about 10 euros per liter, But since having this service, I’m much more relieved because it doesn’t cost me anything, the extra cost I can focus on upgrading my product.”

The collection of used cooking oil also reduces the risk of restaurant owners illegally dumping used cooking oil, one of the causes of water pollution and increasing difficulties in system cleaning. Drainage.

Few people would have thought that this amount of used cooking oil could have such a useful life cycle. Especially in the context of a sharp increase in the price of cooking oil at the moment, these recycled products are even more welcome. Given the effects it brings after being recycled, it’s probably not an exaggeration to think that used cooking oil is liquid gold.
