USED VEGETABLE OILS

How is it re-cycled?

Although these oils are food grade materials we do not recycle it for food use again. It is either processed to use as substitute for mineral diesel fuel - this is known as bio-diesel, or to replace fuel oil for space heating. This reduces contamination of waterways by disposal as general waste, reduces the use of fossil fuels, &, as the oil is from crops which can be grown in the U. K., reduces import costs. For further information see www.bio-power-high-peak.co.uk or www.carbon-offset-high-peak.co.uk

What can be re-cycled?

Vegetable oils used in the catering trade for deep frying & other applications have to be regularly replaced as they become contaminated. Generally the used oil is returned to the container in which it was supplied. It should be runny & uncontaminated. Avoid storing it outside where water can enter the oil.

What causes problems with re-cycling used vegetable oils?

Contamination with animal fats & other foods which cause the oil to solidify make its use as road fuel very difficult. We are looking at ways of using these oils for heating fuel. Water can enter through holes in the top of cans & can make them overflow & also contaminate the oils
