Used cooking oil, also known as waste cooking oil (UCO), refers to cooking oils and fats that have been utilized for frying or cooking in food preparation and have subsequently become unsuitable for further culinary use. It is often collected from households, restaurants, and food processing establishments as a byproduct of cooking processes. Recycling used cooking oil is an environmentally responsible practice, as it can be processed into biodiesel or used as an ingredient in animal feed, industrial applications, and even the production of soap and other products. Proper disposal and recycling of used cooking oil are important for reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainability.
