A recycling consortium has
presented a proposal for the door-to-door collection of used
cooking oil throughout Italy so it can be turned into biodiesel.
The CONOE consortium presented the proposal for a cooperation
agreement with Italian association of local councils ANCI at the
Ecomondo-Key Energy fair in Rimini.
At the moment it is estimated that only a quarter of used
household oils end up at biorefineries - the rest goes down the
drain or into the environment.
If Italy recycled all of its used household vegetable oil and
transformed it into biodiesel it would save an estimated 112
million euros on oil imports.
