The Environmental Impact Of Recycling Used Cooking Oil

Every year, commercial kitchens produce thousands of gallons of used cooking oil. If not handled correctly, this waste can harm plumbing systems, pollute waterways, and contribute to landfill overflow. But what many businesses don’t realize is that used cooking oil is not just waste it's a renewable resource.
