Used Cooking Oil
Food waste is 23% of Canada's national waste production.
Food waste is 23% of Canada's national waste production.
In recent years, used cooking oil and animal fats have become a renewable resource for a number of industries. Through refining and advanced chemical processing, these waste materials can be repurposed into biodiesel, animal feed, industrial lubricants, plastics, and other useful products.
Animal fats and used cooking oils haven't always contributed to the circular economy. They were often poured down the drain or made their way into the landfills, and often still do. When this waste enters our waterways or seeps into our soils, it creates harmful consequences. Recycling fats and oils keeps this waste from damaging our natural resources and helps reduce our dependence on raw materials.
Here at Waste Logic, we strive to help our clients uncover practical ways to increase their sustainability efforts. We'll source a service provider to help you recycle your used cooking and animal fats so they can be repurposed into other products that industries need. Plus, repurposing waste fats and oils into new products creates significantly less greenhouse gas emissions than processing raw materials.
Let’s talk about how we can help you achieve your waste disposal and recycling sustainability goals. Call us today.
