Used Cooking Oil
WHAT IS USED COOKING OIL (UCO) ?
UCO, or Used Cooking Oil, is a valuable resource that often goes unnoticed. It is the oil that has been previously used for cooking purposes in homes, restaurants, and food establishments. Rather than letting it go to waste, we harness its potential, giving it a new lease on life.
UCO holds immense value and has diverse applications in various industries. Through our advanced processes, we transform UCO into sustainable products that contribute to a greener future:
The physicochemical characteristics of UCOs are mainly dependent on the oil of origin, cooking practices such as degree of reuse, operating conditions, heating elements, etc. Food habits and waste management methods namely storage time and conditions also dictate the physicochemical characteristics of UCO. Our state of the art pre-treatment facility is used for the up-grading of UCOs in order to obtain suitable oleochemical feedstocks for value-added applications.
