Chinese and fast food restaurants get rid of millions of litres of waste oil every week. Snack food manufacturers also get rid of millions of litres of waste oil every week as well. Any one who deep fries food in large quantities have the same issue. They have to get rid of millions of litres of vegetable oil every week.

Everywhere large amounts of oil is used, they are faced with the issue of getting rid of waste vegetable oil. Manufacturing stock feed using the oil was a solution to this issue in the past, but since its links with BSE, commercial catering waste oil, it is not used any more. Since the use of catering grade oil was banned in 2004, the amount of waste oil that needs disposing of, has obviously increased.

Another, much less harmful method of recycling waste vegetable oils is to use them in the manufacture of biodiesel. It is remarkably simple to process waste vegetable oil into bio diesel for use in your diesel car or truck. It is such an easy process, that many people are using waste vegetable oil to make bio diesel and fueling their car or truck and machinery for a fraction of the price.

There are many benefits to recycling waste vegetable oil to make bio diesel, especially when you compare biodiesel to conventional diesel. The first, and most important benefit for you the manufacturer, is the price. Once you begin making bio diesel and reuse waste vegetable oil, you will be able to run your car or truck for a faction of the cost of ordinary diesel. The second benefit, which is probably more important, is the fact that biodiesel doesn't produce toxic by-products. Bio diesel smells like vegetable oil and doesn't produce the carbon dioxides and monoxides that conventional diesel does. The last, but by no means least, benefit, is that it lubricates and protects your engine, and will even clean out your fuel lines and injectors.

Many Governments and councils are coming out in support of Bio diesel because it makes a lot of sense at their end to find a solution to the issue of disposing of waste vegetable oil. Bio diesel also reduces fossil fuel dependence, reduces toxic emissions, keeps spending within the country and generally solves several pollution problems in one hit.

If we don't reuse waste vegetable oil as Biodiesel, it will become landfill or worse, and unless we no longer use oil to fry foods commercially, this is a problem our local councils are stuck with.
