Over the years, eating habits in Italy and in the other industrialized countries have undergone many changes. The use of vegetable oils in our country is estimated to be over 1.5 million t/y, used both for domestic cooking and by the catering industry. From this widespread use, 300,000 t (20%) of used cooking oil is derived, a waste which is a source of pollution if dispersed into the environment.

Abstract

Over the years, eating habits in Italy and in the other industrialized countries have undergone many changes. The use of vegetable oils in our country is estimated to be over 1.5 million t/y, used both for domestic cooking and by the catering industry. From this widespread use, 300,000 t (20%) of used cooking oil is derived, a waste which is a source of pollution if dispersed into the environment. This paper examines the characteristics of this waste oil and the potentials for its re-use and recycling.
