WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO COLLECT VEGETABLE USED OIL?
By roasting, the physical and chemical characteristics of the food oil undergo transformations that may have adverse effects on health and the environment. At the moment, people throw the oil into the sink, in the trash can, in the toilets or even in nature (in the garden, in the river, etc.). When the food oil reaches the waters, a layer is formed that covers the surface of the water and prevents the absorption of oxygen.
Oil compounds present in water increase demand for oxygen and make it toxic. As a result, fish absorb toxic compounds from polluted water and are also toxic to humans. At the same time, discarded waste oil causes various maintenance problems in the system. The effect occurs when the oil solidifies and accumulates in the drainage system. Once the leak is blocked, there are landscapes that can have a deleterious effect on the environment and cost extra for pipe replacement and cleanliness.
