It is guaranteed that this store / restaurant / company, etc. changes the frying oil often and regularly uses the used cooking oil collection service!
Thus, this company continuously has fresh oil in the fryers and on the other hand contributes to the protection of the environment and the health of its customers and also meets all the requirements provided for in art. 6, paragraph 1 of the Waste Management Act and European legislation.
We take over the collected waste with management responsibility and ownership. We treat them with modern technology, we recycle them with the help of our partners.
Frying in vegetable oils, -in culinary technology- is one of the most widespread methods these days. During repeated frying, changes occur, which lead to the loss of gastronomic values. Edible oil wears out, and due to this fact, sooner or later, the fat becomes incapable of being used for food purposes.
Harmful effects on the environment:
Arriving in the sewage network, it increases the loading of waste water cleaning devices, prevents the self-oxidizing processes of natural waters.
Arriving in the soil, it prevents its air permeability, respectively it prevents water from rising in the upper layers, forming a closing layer.
Entering municipal waste, it appears as a substance with heavy decomposition.
Under the legal provisions, all units producing such waste are obliged to hand over the waste to an authorized company for their collection!
The population's waste of frying oil represents only a small proportion of the amount collected - approximately 3-5%. Our society makes serious efforts to change this proportion.
Nowadays, the population is more and more ecologically responsible. It tries to selectively collect waste from households. After plastic, paper and metal waste, there is a need for the separate collection of used vegetable oils. According to our hopes, the population's waste of frying oil can reach 10-15% of the total amount collected in the coming years.
We provide 60-liter collection containers to our partners contracted for the collection of used vegetable oils and frying fats. We transport them frequently, according to the concluded agreement, with a so-called collection run, respectively we exchange the filled barrels with empty ones at the negotiated terms. The used vegetable oils collected by our team are exported to EU countries. They are processed, in a degreasing installation, in a closed system. The 60 collection containers are cleaned with the help of an automated washing equipment, before being sent back to our company. Cleaned vegetable oil - after processing - is used in the biodiesel industry, to a small extent in asphalt production, gypsum production, paint production, carpentry companies. The residues resulting during processing are recycled within the so-called biogas company.
Responsible vision and environmental protection represent our common interest!
