Waste Cooking Oil (UCO) | Used Vegetable Cooking Oil | Compliant Vehicles & Biodiesel Production

Used Cooking Oil (UCO) is a reclaimed and collected edible oil resource generated after food frying and cooking processes. It is widely used as a raw material in industrial applications, especially for biodiesel production, soap manufacturing, animal feed processing (after proper treatment), and other chemical processing industries. This oil is typically filtered and processed to remove food particles, water content, and impurities to make it suitable for further refining.

This product is valued for its cost efficiency and sustainable recycling potential, helping reduce environmental waste and supporting circular economy practices in fuel and industrial sectors.
