Every year, millions of liters of used cooking oil are improperly poured directly into drains and the environment without proper treatment. This causes serious consequences:
Water pollution: Oil floats on the surface of water, blocking dissolved oxygen and threatening aquatic ecosystems.
Clogged pipelines: Cooking oil hardens inside pipes, causing blockages and damaging drainage systems.
Risk of unsafe reuse: Some facilities collect used cooking oil and illegally recycle it into contaminated oil, posing serious health risks to consumers.
So, what should we do with used cooking oil?
Collect used oil in sealed bottles or containers and bring it to designated used cooking oil collection points.
If there is no collection point nearby, allow the oil to solidify and dispose of it in organic waste instead of pouring it down the drain.
Encourage family and friends to take action together for a greener, cleaner environment.
Small actions can create big changes. Let’s protect the environment starting today!
