How it works
Collect the used oil in a closed container and deliver it to the intended channel instead of pouring it through the drain.
It follows a hierarchy: prevent, keep in use, reuse, repair, recycle and safely treat only what could not be avoided.
When does it make sense?
- Since the purchase and design, not only at the end of the process
- With known quantities, compositions and destinations
- Where traceable responsibilities and managers exist
How to apply it
- 1
Define what need resolves "used cooking oil to selective collection" and establish a starting situation.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3
Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Reduced use of resources
Less final waste
Increased value recovery
Limitations and precautions
- In hospitality the delivery must be documented by an authorized manager, not enough neighborhood collection.
- Valuation should not conceal opportunities for prevention or reuse.
- Separate materials without a real and traceable destination does not guarantee their recovery.
